Abstract

A series of N-sulfonaminoethyloxime derivatives of dehydroabietic acid were synthesized and investigated for their antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus Newman strain and multidrug-resistant strains (NRS-1, NRS-70, NRS-100, NRS-108 and NRS-271). Most of the target compounds having chloro, bromo, trifluoromethyl phenyl moiety exhibited potent in vitro antistaphylococcal activity. The meta-CF3 phenyl derivative T23 showed the highest activity with MIC of 0.39-0.78 μg/mL against S. aureus Newman, while several analogues showed similar potent antibacterial activity with MIC values between 0.78 and 1.56 μg/mL against five multidrug-resistant S. aureus. The stability of T35 in plasma of SD rat and the cellular cytotoxicity were also evaluated.
