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.
