Synthesis andIn VitroActivity of Polyhalogenated 2-phenylbenzimidazoles as a New Class of anti-MRSA and Anti-VRE Agents
摘要:
A series of novel polyhalogenated 2‐phenylbenzimidazoles have been synthesized and evaluated for in vitro antistaphylococcal activity against drug‐resistant bacterial strains (methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and vancomycin‐resistant Enterococcus faecium. Certain compounds inhibit bacterial growth perfectly. 11 was active than vancomycin (0.78 μg/mL) with the lowest MIC values with 0.19 μg/mL against methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus, 8 and 35 exhibited best inhibitory activity against vancomycin‐resistant Enterococcus faecium (1.56 μg/mL). The mechanism of action for this class of compounds appears to be different than clinically used antibiotics. These polyhalogenated benzimidazoles have potential for further investigation as a new class of potent anti‐methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus and anti‐vancomycin‐resistant Enterococcus faecium agents.
