Metal compounds identified as potential new antibiotics, thanks to robots doing 'click chemistry'
SMRTR summary
Researchers used robots to create over 600 metal-based compounds in just one week, discovering that an iridium complex shows promising antibiotic properties against drug-resistant bacteria. The automated "click chemistry" approach identified compounds 50-100 times more effective against bacteria than toxic to human cells, offering a new direction for antibiotic development.
