A seize of pleuromutilin derivatives containing amide side chains were designed and synthesized as potential antibiotics against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Among all target compounds (compounds 11-30), compound 25 was found to have the strongest antibacterial activity against MRSA (minimum inhibitory concentration = 0.5 μg/ml). The result of the time-kill curves indicated that compound 25 could repress the growth of MRSA in vitro obviously (-3.72 log CFU/ml reduction). Furthermore, molecular docking studies demonstrated that compound 25 was localized in the binding pocket of 50S ribosomal subunit (ΔGb = -8.99 kcal/mol). Besides, compound 25 displayed low cytotoxicity to RAW 264.7 cells. The results suggested that compound 25 might be further developed into a novel antimicrobial agent against MRSA.
设计并合成了一系列含有酰胺侧链的截短侧耳素衍生物,作为潜在的抗耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)抗生素。在所有目标化合物(化合物 11-30)中,化合物 25 对 MRSA 的抗菌活性最强(最低抑菌浓度=0.5μg/ml)。时间杀伤曲线的结果表明,化合物 25 能明显抑制 MRSA 的体外生长(减少-3.72 log CFU/ml)。此外,分子对接研究表明,化合物 25 定位于 50S 核糖体亚基的结合口袋中(ΔGb=-8.99 kcal/mol)。此外,化合物 25 对 RAW 264.7 细胞的细胞毒性较低。结果表明,化合物 25 可能被进一步开发为一种新型的抗 MRSA 抗菌药物。
