RESUMO
As part of a programme investigating antibacterial cyclic macrocycles containing a cationic amino acid with an internal aromatic hydrophobic scaffold, we previously reported a macrocycle anchored at the 3,3'-positions of a 1,1'-binaphthyl unit. This was prepared via key intermediates containing an internal allylglycine and an allyl-substituted binaphthyl unit for a subsequent ring-closing metathesis reaction. This paper presents some structure-activity relationship studies with additional macrocycles based on this lead compound against Staphylococcus aureus together with the antibacterial activity of two related acyclic compounds.

An efficient synthesis of 29 new binaphthyl-based neutral, and mono- and di-cationic, peptoids is described. Some of these compounds had antibacterial activities with MIC values of 1.9-3.9microg/mL against Staphylococcus aureus. One peptoid had a MIC value of 6microg/mL against a methicillin-resistant strain of S. aureus (MRSA) and a MIC value of 2microg/mL against vancomycin-resistant strains of enterococci (VRE).
