Abstract

A novel series of 3-O-arylalkylcarbamoyl-3-O-descladinosyl-9-O-(2-chlorobenzyl)oxime clarithromycin derivatives, were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial activity. These derivatives were found to have strong activity against susceptible and resistant bacteria strains. Among them, compounds 7a and 7q showed the most potent activity (0.125 µg/mL) against erythromycin-resistant S. pneumoniae expressing the mefA gene. Moreover, compounds 7f, 7i, 7p and 7z displayed remarkably improved activity (4 µg/mL) against penicillin-resistant S. aureus ATCC31007, and compounds 7a, 7b, 7f, 7p and 7z showed improved activity (8 µg/mL) against erythromycin-resistant S. pyogenes. In particular, compound 7z exhibited potent and balanced activity against the tested drug-susceptible and -resistant bacterial strains.
