Antibacterial activity of some 5-dialkylaminomethylhydantoins and related derivatives

Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 2013;61(10):1090-3. doi: 10.1248/cpb.c13-00461.

Abstract

In connection with our studies on antibacterial compounds in the class of 5-dialkylaminomethylhydantoins against Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) and Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) strains, some molecular modifications were attempted. The antibacterial activities of all of the synthesized hydantoin derivatives were evaluated. Among the hydantoin derivatives designed in this study, C₂-symmetrical twin-drug type compound (7) showed the highest level of antibacterial activity against S. aureus strain.
