Two enantiomerically pure B-ring modified analogues of (-)-epicatechin gallate were synthesised and their modulation of beta-lactam resistance using three strains of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (BB 568, EMRSA-15 and EMRSA-16) evaluated. Sub-inhibitory concentrations (12.5 and 25 mg/L) of the two analogues fully sensitised each of the three MRSA strains to oxacillin, reducing the MIC to less than 0.5 mg/L, identical to levels achieved with ECg. Lower concentrations demonstrated that the position and degree of hydroxylation of the B-ring is important for activity.
合成了(-)-表儿茶素没食子酸酯的两种对映体纯的B环修饰类似物,并使用三株耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(BB 568、EMRSA - 15和EMRSA - 16)评估了它们对β-内酰胺抗性的调节作用。两种类似物的亚抑制浓度(12.5和25 mg/L)使三种MRSA菌株中的每一种对苯唑西林完全敏感,将最低抑菌浓度降低至低于0.5 mg/L,与表儿茶素没食子酸酯所达到的水平相同。较低浓度表明B环的羟基化位置和程度对活性很重要。
