Abstract
A series of novel 3-O-(3-aryl-E-2-propenyl)clarithromycin derivatives 8 and 3-O-(3-aryl-2-propargyl)clarithromycin derivatives 11 were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial activities. Compared with 8c and 11c (Ar was 5-pyrimidyl), 3-O-(3-(5′-pyrimidyl)-Z-1-propenyl) counterpart 6c displayed 4- to 64-fold more potent activities against erythromycin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Moreover, the activities of 6c, 8c, and 11c against erythromycin-resistant S. aureus and S. pneumoniae were in general 4-fold higher than those of the reference compound, clarithromycin and azithromycin.
