Profiling structural diversity and activity of 2-alkyl-4(1H)-quinolone N-oxides of Pseudomonas and Burkholderia

Here, we report the synthesis of all major 2-alkyl-4(1H)-quinolone N-oxide classes of Pseudomonas and Burkholderia, quantification of their native production levels and their antibiotic activities against competing Staphylococcus aureus.
