Novel antibacterially-active analogs of the antibiotics nodusmicin and nargenicin A1. These compounds are prepared by selectively blocking active hydroxyl groups at the 9, 11 and 18 positions of nodusmicin, and the 11 and 18 positions of nargenicin A1. Antibacterially-active compounds can be used in various environments to control or eradicate susceptible bacteria. The techniques for such use are well known in the art. |
