A new series of 1beta-methyl carbapenems possessing a 6,7-disubstituted imidazo[5,1-b]thiazol-2-yl group directly attached to the C-2 position of the carbapenem nucleus was prepared, and the activities of these compounds against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) were evaluated. To study the effect of basic moieties on anti-MRSA activity, we introduced an amino, or imino, or amidino group at the 6-position of imidazo[5,1-b]thiazole in place of the carbamoylmethyl moiety of CP5068. Anti-MRSA activities of almost all basic group-substituted carbapenems were improved, though some of the compounds showed stronger acute toxicity in mice than IPM. In order to decrease the toxicity without decreasing the activity, we introduced various additional functionalities around the basic moiety. Finally, we obtained CP5484, which has excellent anti-MRSA activity and low acute toxicity.

Background: Vancomycin has been the preferred treatment for MRSA infections. However, newer drugs are necessary due to the increasing prevalence of MRSA isolates that are less susceptible to vancomycin. Levonadifloxacin its a prodrug alalevonadifloxacin, novel quinolones with broad spectrum anti-MRSA activity.

Antimicrobial resistance in methicillin-resistant (MRSA) is a major global health challenge. This study reports the design and synthesis of novel phenyltriazole derivatives as potential anti-MRSA agents. The new scaffold replaces the thiazole core with a 1,2,3-triazole ring, enhancing antimicrobial efficacy and physicochemical properties.

Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are resistant to nearly all β-lactam antibiotics under standard testing conditions. However, a novel phenotype exists wherein certain MRSA strains exhibit β-lactam susceptibility in the presence of bicarbonate (termed 'NaHCO3-responsive'), an abundant ion in mammalian tissues and blood. This suggests that specific MRSA infections may be treatable by β-lactams.
