The synthesis and biological evaluation of a novel series of antimicrobials of the oxazolidinone class

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2002 Aug 19;12(16):2121-3. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(02)00352-9.

Abstract

A novel series of antimicrobials of the oxazolidinone class is disclosed. These compounds are characterized relative to previously described analogues by a 'halostilbene-derived' pharmacophore and demonstrate enhanced antimicrobial activity against key Gram-positive pathogens when compared to Linezolid.
