Abstract

A variety of new mono-oxazolidinone molecules by modifying the C-ring of Linezolid, a marketed antibiotic for MRSA, were synthesized and tested for their in vitro antibacterial activities against several Staphylococcus aureus, Mycobacterium smegmatis and two Gram-negative bacteria strains (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). Among them, compounds 4-7 displayed moderate antimicrobial activities. After development of a second oxazolidinone ring in the western part of the mono-oxazolidinone compounds 4-7 by a ring closure reaction with N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI), we found thus obtained bis-oxazolidinone compounds 22-25 possess excellently inhibitory activities against H37Rv but poor or no effects on other test bacteria. Among them, bis-oxazolidinone compound 22 and 24 are the most potent two compounds with a same MIC value of 0.125μg/mL against H37Rv virulent strain. Compound 22 also exhibited extremely low cytotoxicity on monkey kidney Vero cells with a selective index (IC50/MIC) over 40,000, which suggested bis-oxazolidinone compound 22 is a promising lead compound for subsequent investigation in search of new antitubercular agents.
