This thesis focuses on the development of efficient and scalable total syntheses of natural products that can be used as preferred scaffolds for anti-infective drug discovery. It describes the total synthesis of two classes of antimicrobial non-ribosomal peptides (NRPs) - teixobactin and the skyllamycins - with subsequent biological evaluation. The first part describes the first total synthesis of teixobactin by means of a solid-phase peptide synthesis-macrolactamisation approach, yielding a synthetic natural product that can combat a number of clinically relevant Gram-positive bacterial pathogens. The second part describes the first total synthesis of skyllamycins A-C, a family of structurally complex cyclic NRPs, which inhibit the growth of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms that are responsible for significant mortality among cystic fibrosis patients.

Andrew M. Giltrap was raised in Sydney, Australia and carried out his Bachelor of Science majoring in chemistry at the University of Sydney. During this time, Andrew undertook his final year undergraduate research project under the supervision of Professor Richard J. Payne, receiving the University Medal for undergraduate excellence. Andrew continued in the laboratory of Professor Payne, commencing his PhD studies in 2013 funded by an Australian Postgraduate Award, the Sydney University Vice-Chancellor's Research Scholarship and the John A. Lamberton Scholarship. During his PhD, Andrew's research focused on the total synthesis of antimicrobial peptide natural products, notably completing the first total syntheses of teixobactin and skyllamycins A-C. He is currently a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Sydney.
