The present application discloses a class of antibiotic compounds containing an oxazolidinone ring. These compounds have useful activity against Gram-positive pathogens including MRSA and MRCNS and, in particular, against various strains exhibiting resistance to vancomycin and against
E. faecium
strains resistant to both aminoglycosides and clinically used &bgr;-lactams. The compounds also possess a favourable toxicological profile. This invention further relates to processes for their preparation, to intermediates useful in their preparation, to their use as therapeutic agents and to pharmaceutical compositions containing them.
