Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel 5-(hydroxamic acid)methyl oxazolidinone derivatives
摘要:
Research activities on the oxazolidinone antibacterial class of compounds continue to focus on developing newer derivatives with improved potency, broad-spectrum activity and safety profiles superior to linezolid. Among the safety concerns with the oxazolidinone antibacterial agents is inhibition of monoamine oxidases (MAO) resulting from their structural similarity with toloxatone, a known MAO inhibitor. Diverse substitution patterns at the C-5 position of the oxazolidinone ring have been shown to significantly affect both antibacterial activity and MAO inhibition to varying degrees. Also, the antibacterial activity of compounds containing iron-chelating functionalities, such as the hydroxamic acids, 8-hydroxyquinolines and catechols have been correlated to their ability to alter iron intake and/or metabolism. Hence a series of novel 5-(hydroxamic acid)methyl oxazolidinone derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their antibacterial and MAO-A and -B inhibitory activities. The compounds were devoid of significant antibacterial activity but most demonstrated moderate MAO-A and -B inhibitory activities. Computer modeling studies revealed that the lack of potent antibacterial activity was due to significant steric interaction between the hydroxamic acid N-OH oxygen atom and one of the G2540 5'-phosphate oxygen atoms at the bacterial ribosomal binding site. Therefore, the replacement of the 5-acetamidomethyl group of linezolid with the 5-(N-hydroxyacetamido)methyl group present in the hydroxamic acid oxazolidinone derivatives was concluded to be detrimental to antibacterial activity. Furthermore, the 5-(hydroxamic acid)methyl oxazolidinone derivatives were also less active as MAO-A and -B inhibitors compared with linezolid and the selective inhibitors clorgyline and pargyline. In general, the 5-(hydroxamic acid)methyl oxazolidinone derivatives demonstrated moderate but selective MAO-B inhibitory activity. (C) 2015 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

A series of 5-substituted oxazolidinones with varying substitution at the 5-position of the oxazolidinone ring were synthesized and their in vitro antibacterialactivity was evaluated. The compounds demonstrated potent to weak antibacterialactivity. A novel compound (PH-027) demonstrated potent antibacterialactivity, which is comparable to or better than those of linezolid and vancomycin against
