Abstract: A series of analogues of the potent peptide deformylase (PDF) inhibitor BB-3497 containing alternative metal binding groups was synthesised. Enzyme inhibition and antibacterial activity data for these compounds revealed that the bidentate hydroxamic acid and N-formyl hydroxylamine structural motifs represent the optimum chelating groups on the pseudopeptidic BB-3497 backbone.
