Synthesis and structure-activity studies of novel homomorpholine oxazolidinone antibacterial agents

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2009 Jan 15;19(2):550-3. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2008.02.052. Epub 2008 Feb 26.

Abstract

A novel series of oxazolidinones were synthesized in which the morpholine C-ring of linezolid was replaced with homomorpholine. In addition to investigating the effect of a homomorpholine C-ring on antibacterial activity, the effect of des-, mono-, di-, and tri-fluoro substitution on the phenyl B-ring was investigated as well. Various C-5 functional groups were also examined, including acetamides and triazoles and carboxamides.
