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.
