Bactericidal activity of extended 9-glycyl-amido-minocyclines
摘要:
The need for self-protecting polymer or alloy implants resistant to a broad spectrum of bacterial challenges led us to investigate covalent bonding of minocycline (MIN), a tetracycline derivative, to polystyrene beads and to titanium alloy foils by oligoethylene glycol spacers. 9-Hydrazino-acetyl-amido-MIN, and simpler glycylcycline derivatives, retained minimum inhibitory concentration ( MIC) against Staphylococcus aureus comparable to MIN. However, PEG-glycyl-amido-MIN showed very low activity. Hence, we coupled 9-hydrazino-acetyl-amido-MIN to the aldehyde termini of oligoethylene glycol spacers bonded to polystyrene and titanium alloy surfaces to form acid-releasable hydrazone linkages. 9-Hydrazino-acetyl-amido-MIN was released from the monolayers more rapidly at pH 5.0 than at pH 7.4.

Glycylcyclines. 1. A new generation of potent antibacterial agents through modification of 9-aminotetracyclines
摘要:
This report describes the discovery of a new generation of tetracycline antibacterial agents, the ''glycylcyclines''. These agents are notable for their activity against a broad spectrum of tetracycline-susceptible and -resistant Gram-negative and Gram-positive aerobic and anaerobic bacteria possessing various classes of tetracycline-resistant determinants [tet B (efflux), tet M (ribosomal protection)]. The design and synthesis of a number of 7-substituted 9-substituted-amido 6-demethyl-6-deoxytetracyclines are described.
