发现新的抗生素药物是应对细菌和真菌耐药性问题的关键手段, 而基于现有抗生素开发新型抗生素已被证明是一条有效途径. 目前, 临床上或临床试验阶段的抗生素大多是半合成药物, 即通过对天然抗生素进行修饰来解决毒性或耐药性等问题. 天然抗生素产物的复杂性和稳定性使得半合成抗生素的药物化学开发面临较高难度, 而其后续的合成工艺则更具挑战. 这类工艺化学不仅需要解决化学、区域和立体选择性的转化难题, 还需克服分离纯化等技术障碍. 在抗生素发展的百年历程中, 化学家们已经发展了许多经典的抗生素化学合成工艺, 如四环素化学和大环内酯化学等. 重点介绍了这些经典的抗生素半合成工艺, 从化学合成挑战、原研工艺与改进工艺以及可能的工艺优化等方面进行详细阐述.

Discovering new antibiotic drugs is a critical approach to addressing the issue of bacterial and fungal resistance. Developing novel antibiotic based on existing ones has proven to be an effective strategy. Currently, due to issues such as resistance and toxicity, many antibiotics have been developed into semi-synthetic drugs that are either on the market or in clinical trials. The complexity and stability of natural antibiotic products make the pharmaceutical chemistry development of semi-synthetic antibiotics particularly challenging, with subsequent synthetic processes presenting even greater difficulties. These process chemistries must address challenges in chemical, regio-, and stereo-selective transformations, as well as overcome technical obstacles in separation and purification. Over the century-long history of antibiotic development, chemists have developed many classic antibiotic chemical synthesis processes, such as tetracycline chemistry and macrolide chemistry. These classic semi-synthetic antibiotic processes are reviewed, detailing the chemical synthesis challenges, original and improved processes, and potential process optimizations.
