Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of monobactams as antibacterial agents against gram-negative bacteria

A series of monobactam derivatives were prepared and evaluated for their antibacterial activities against susceptible and resistant Gram-negative strains, taking Aztreonam and BAL30072 as the leads. Six conjugates (12a–f) bearing PIH-like siderophore moieties were created to enhance the bactericidal...

Description
Summary:A series of monobactam derivatives were prepared and evaluated for their antibacterial activities against susceptible and resistant Gram-negative strains, taking Aztreonam and BAL30072 as the leads. Six conjugates (12a–f) bearing PIH-like siderophore moieties were created to enhance the bactericidal activities against Gram-negative bacteria based on Trojan Horse strategy, and all of them displayed potencies against susceptible Gram-negative strains with MIC ≤ 8 μg/mL. SAR revealed that the polar substituents on the oxime side chain were beneficial for activities against resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Compounds 19c and 33a–b exhibited the promising potencies against ESBLs-producing E. coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae with MICs ranging from 2 μg/mL to 8 μg/mL. These results offered powerful information for further strategic optimization in search of the antibacterial candidates against MDR Gram-negative bacteria. [Display omitted] •Fourteen monobactams were designed and synthesized.•Click Chemistry was first applied for the synthesis of monolactams.•Representative compounds exhibited potency against Gram-negative bacteria.•Lower ClogP might be a powerful strategy in designing antibacterial agents.
