Ring-cleaved pleuromutilin derivatives comprised of a [5.3.1] bicyclic core structure have been synthesized and evaluated in vitro as antibacterial agents. Four of the compounds described were found to have MICs <= 4 mu g/mL against marker strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus. (c) 2006 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
