<p>Muraymycins, isolated from a culture broth of Streptomyces sp., are members of a class of naturally occurring nucleoside antibiotics. They are strong inhibitors of the phospho-MurNAc-pentapeptide translocase (MraY), which is responsible for the peptidoglycan biosynthesis. Since MraY is an essential enzyme among bacteria, muraymycins are expected to be a novel antibacterial agent. In this review, our efforts to synthesize muraymycin D2, simplify the chemical structure, improve antibacterial spectrum, and solve the X-ray crystal structure of the muraymycin D2/MraY complex are described.</p>
