Abstract:
We described the design, synthesis and antimicrobial activities of novel pleuromutilin derivatives with substituted piperazine substrate. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was used to evaluate the activity of the derivatives against six bacteria in vitro, and compound 8 was potent against Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis with the MIC value of 0.0625 μg/ml. 10a and 10 b showed similar activity to positive control drugs (tiamulin, erythromycin) against S. aureus with the MIC value of 0.125 μg/ml. The binding mode of compound 8 and tiamulin to the ribosome pocket showed the correlation between binding parameters and the antibacterial activity, and more bonds and stronger combination could effectively enhance the activity of compounds.[Formula: see text].
