Abstract

A series of 3-descladinosyl-2,3-anhydro-6-O-methylerythromycin A 11, 12-carbamate analogues have been synthesized and evaluated for antibacterial activity. These compounds were found to be potent antibacterial agents against Gram-positive organisms in vitro, many having MIC values below 1 microg/mL for the macrolide-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae, as well as improved activity compared to erythromycin A against the inducibly MLS (macrolide, lincosamide, and streptogramin B)-resistant organisms. Structure-activity studies revealed that arylalkyl carbamates with two and four carbon atoms between the aromatic moiety and carbamate nitrogen have the best in vitro activity. All of the C-10 epi analogues evaluated were found to have substantially less activity than the corresponding natural C-10 isomer. Several analogues demonstrated moderate antibacterial activity against the constitutively resistant S.aureus A-5278, S. pneumoniae5979, and S.pyogenes 930. However, despite potent in vitro activity, these analogues showed only moderate in vivo activity in mouse protection studies.
