Studies on the Synthesis and Structure-Activity Relationships of 2-(2-Functionalized Pyrrolidin-4-ylthio)-1β-methylcarbapenems

抄録

A series of new carbapenem derivatives, which have a pyrrolidin-4-ylthio group substituted with a hydroxyalkyl or carbamoyl group at the 2' position as the C-2 side chain, have been prepared. The antibacterial activity and the stability to renal dehydropeptidase-I of these compounds were investigated, and the structure-activity relationships were studied. Among these new carbapenems, (1R, 5S, 6S)-2-[(2S, 4S)-2-{(2-hydroxy)ethylmercaptomethyl}pyrrolidin-4-ylthio]-6-[(1R)-1-hydroxyethyl]-1-methyl-1-carbapen-2-em-3-carboxylic acid (1a) showed the most potent and well balanced activity and was selected as a candidate for further evaluation.
