Throughout the years, as bacterial resis 30 tance grew or improved therapeutic properties were needed, SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION additional therapeutic agents including second generation tetracycline derivatives such as minocycline (7) and doxy Thus, in accordance with the present invention, there is cycline (8) and third generation tetracycline derivatives such provided a compound of the formula: as tigecycline (9) and eravacycline (TP-434, 10) have been 35 developed (FIG. lA) (Tally, et al, 1995; Sutcliffe, et al., 2013; Chopra and Roberts, 2001). (I) Penicillium is a genus of ascomycetous fungi of major importance in the natural environment as well as food and drug production. Members of the genus may be best known 40 for producing penicillin, a molecule that is used as an antibiotic, which kills or stops the growth ofcertain kinds of bacteria inside the body. According to the Dictionary ofthe Fungi (l 0th edition, 2008), the widespread genus contains over 300 species.
