Abstract
Newly synthesized derivatives of BAS00127538 have been discovered to possess antibiotic activity and to combat resistant bacterial strains. Compounds and pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds are described, and are based on a genetic scaffold structure. Synthetic methods and methods of using the compounds also are described. Preferred compounds bind to Lipid II with high affinity, have markedly reduced cytotoxicity compared to BAS00127538, and retain activity against drug-resistant strains of Enterococci. They are stable in plasma, have dramatically improved pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics properties, and possess in vivo efficacy in a mouse model of sepsis.
