Display omitted •The structure-activity relationship among negamycin analogs was evaluated.•Chemical synthesis of negamycin was summarized.•Key features in each individual synthesis was discussed. In this Digest paper, various approaches toward chemical synthesis of negamycin, a natural dipeptide-like antibiotic, were summarized. The strategy and tactics in each individual synthesis were highlighted. Although the chemical structure of negamycin is relatively simple, the promising bioactivity against Gram-negative bacteria with a novel mechanism of action renders it as an intriguing lead compound for medicinal development.
