Synthesis and antibacterial activity of novel oxazolidinones bearing N-hydroxyacetamidine substituent

Novel oxazolidinone antibacterials containing N-hydroxyacetamidine moiety are synthesized with the diversity at C-5 terminus. These compounds have been evaluated against a panel of clinically relevant Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens. Most of the analogs in this series displayed activity superior to Linezolid and in vivo efficacies of selected oxazolidinones are also disclosed herein.

The synthesis of oxazolidinones possessing N-hydroxyacetamidine group on piperazine scaffold and their in vitro antibacterial activity profile are disclosed herein.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
