Novel chiral pyrrolidinone scaffolds derived from threonine with antibacterial activity
摘要:
The synthesis of chiral pyrrolidinones derived from threonine, making use of a Dieckmann or aldol ring closure, is described. Compounds were found to exhibit antibacterial activity, for which the correlation with various physiochemical parameters was examined. This chiral tetramate scaffold may provide a useful template for fragment-based drug design providing rapid access to novel antibacterial compound libraries. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
