Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2007 Aug 15;17(16):4708-14. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2006.12.065. Epub 2006 Dec 22.

Abstract

Starting from a biased needle screening hit 3a, we report herein the design and synthesis of a series of novel 2,3-dihydroisoindol-1-ones structurally related to cyclothialidine 2 with DNA gyrase inhibitory activity. In this series, some compounds exhibited promising antibacterial activity against gram-positive bacterial strains.
