摘要 |
The present invention relates to compounds of the formula (1.0); and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of such compounds. The present invention relates to chemical entities containing a nitrofuran or other antibiotic linked to an activity enhancing distal ring system either directly or via an imine group, the vinyl group, the carbo- or hetero-cyclic chain or ring or a combination of an imine group or a vinyl group and a carbo- or hetero-cyclic chain or ring. Antibiotic activity is obtained, for example, by the nitrofuran moiety, while the remaining structure of the molecule contributes to additional antimicrobial activity and/or extends the antimicrobial spectrum of activity, by facilitating nitroreduction by microorganisms, uptake in target bacterial, and/or intracellular penetration, while also contributing to pharmacological properties (absorption, body distribution, and others).
