Synthesis and antibacterial activity of novel oxazolidinones with methylene oxygen- and methylene sulfur-linked substituents at C5-position

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2007 Sep 1;17(17):4778-83. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2007.06.056. Epub 2007 Jun 26.

Abstract

Novel oxazolidinone derivatives of the lead compound RBx 8700, containing methylene oxygen- and methylene sulfur-linked substituents at the C5-position, were synthesized. Antibacterial screening of these compounds against a panel of resistant and susceptible Gram-positive and fastidious Gram-negative bacteria gave compounds 2 and 4 as new antibacterial agents.
