Conformational constraint in oxazolidinone antibacterials. Part 2: Synthesis and structure–activity studies of oxa-, aza-, and thiabicyclo[3.1.0]hexylphenyl oxazolidinones

A new class of oxazolidinone antibacterials incorporating oxygen-, nitrogen-, or sulfur-containing heterobicyclic C-rings is described. The in vitro potency and in vivo efficacy of these conformationally constrained oxazolidinone analogs are discussed.

The synthesis and biological activities of novel conformationally constrained oxazolidinone antibacterials are described.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
