Antibacterial activity of pyrrolopyridine-substituted oxazolidinones: synthesis and in vitro SAR of various C-5 acetamide replacements.

A series of pyrrolopyridine-substituted oxazolidinones containing various C-5 acetamide isosteres was synthesized and the structure-antibacterial activity relationships determined against a representative panel of susceptible and resistant Gram-positive bacteria.

The synthesis and antimicrobial evaluation of a new series of isoxazolinyl oxazolidinones.

A series of oxazolidinone antibacterial agents containing a 5-substituted isoxazol-3-yl moiety were synthesized via a nitrile oxide [3+2] dipolar cycloaddition reaction. These compounds were screened against a panel of susceptible and resistant Gram-positive organisms. Several analogs from this series were comparable to or more potent than linezolid in vitro.

Synthesis and antibacterial activity of pyrroloaryl-substituted oxazolidinones.

A novel series of oxazolidinones containing a pyrroloaryl substituent was synthesized and screened against a representative panel of susceptible and resistant Gram-positive bacteria. Several members of this series were found to have antibacterial activity comparable to or better than linezolid.
