Synthesis and SAR of novel conformationally restricted oxazolidinones possessing Gram-positive and fastidious Gram-negative antibacterial activity. Part 2: Amino substitutions on heterocyclic D-ring system

Abstract

A novel series of conformationally restricted oxazolidinones was synthesized, in which the heterocyclic D ring was substituted with various amino groups. Several analogs exhibited potent activity against both Gram-positive and fastidious Gram-negative organisms. Certain amino-substituted analogs also exhibited improved aqueous solubility compared to the corresponding un-substituted heterocyclic D-ring analogs.
