Article Abstract

In this work, according to the 'me-too me-better' design strategy, a peculiar side chain different from lefamulin at C14 position of pleuromutilin was introduced. A series of novel thioether pleuromutilin derivatives containing cyclohexane in the C14 chain was synthesized by ten-step synthesis reaction. All derivatives were characterized by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and High Resolution Mass Spectrometer (HRMS). Furthermore, majority of derivatives displayed moderate antibacterial activity in vitro. However, the compound 2C and 2J exhibited comparable or superior antibacterial activity to lefamulin. The summarized structure-activity relationship not only made the variety of pleuromutilin derivatives more diverse, but also provided new ideas for its design and development.

Amphenmulin is a novel pleuromutilin derivative with proven excellent antibacterial activity. To investigate its metabolism in animals, ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS) was employed to analyze and identify metabolites in rats and chickens and using human, rat, pig, chicken and beagle dog liver microsomes. We identified 18 metabolites from liver microsomes and 24 and 17 metabolites for rats and chickens, respectively.

The overuse of antibiotics has led to the progressively severe issue of bacterial drug resistance. As a result, a large number of antibiotics available on the market show a notably diminished effectiveness against drug-resistant bacteria. Thus, a series of dimethylcysteamine pleuromutilin derivatives were designed and synthesized.

The pleuromutilin derivative, the compound PL-W, was synthesized by introducing a 4-fluorophenyl group at the C21 position and selected for comprehensive antibacterial evaluation. PL-W demonstrated notable antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant (MRSA), with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 0.03125 µg/mL, which is significantly lower than that of tiamulin (0.

Pleuromutilin, a diterpene fungal metabolite, serves as a privileged scaffold for antibiotic discovery. Improving its antibacterial activity and broadening its spectrum remain the primary objectives in developing novel pleuromutilin derivatives. To obtain an ideal candidate, a series of pleuromutilin analogues conjugated to the triphenylphosphonium cation (TPP) were designed and synthesized.

Mycoplasma gallisepticum (M. gallisepticum, MG) is the primary pathogen of chronic respiratory disease (CRD) in chickens and leads to pneumonia and air sacculitis in infected chickens and a corresponding economic loss for the poultry industry. The pleuromutilins have excellent anti-mycoplasmal activity and we evaluated the in vivo activity of a new derivative 22-((4-((2-furan-1-yl)acetamido)phenyl)thio) deoxypleuromutilin (p-furoylamphenmulin) against M.
