I. Bennett et al., Synthesis and antibacterial properties of beta-diketone acrylate bioisosteres of pseudomonic acid A, BIOORG MED, 9(13), 1999, pp. 1847-1852
A series of beta-diketone acrylate bioisosteres 4 of pseudomonic acid A 1 h
ave been synthesized and evaluated for their ability to inhibit bacterial i
soleucyl-tRNA synthetase and act as antibacterial agents. A number of analo
gues have excellent antibacterial activity. Selected examples were shown to
afford good blood levels and to be effective in a murine infection model.
