4- (2-OXO-OXAZOLIDIN-3YL)-PHENOXYMETHYLE DERIVATIVEAS AS ANTIBACTERIALS

摘要

The invention relates to novel chimeric antibiotics of formula I wherein R1 represents OH, OPO3H2 or OCOR5; R2 represents H, OH or OPO3H2; R3 represents H or halogen; R4 is H, (C1-C3)alkyl, or cycloalkyl; R5 represents piperidin-4-yl or R5 is the residue of a naturally occurring amino acid, of the enantiomer of a naturally occurring amino acid or of dimethylaminoglycine; n is 0 or 1; and to salts (in particular pharmaceutically acceptable salts) of compounds of formula I. These chimeric compounds are useful in the manufacture of medicaments for the treatment of infections (e.g. bacterial infections).
