Popis: Series of N-substituted carbazole analogues bearing an indole ring were synthesized as anti-methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) agents from a molecular hybridization approach. The representative compound 19 showed an MIC = 1 μg/mL against a panel of MRSA clinical isolates as it possessed comparable in vitro activities to that of vancomycin. Moreover, compound 19 also exhibited MIC = 1 μg/mL activities against a recent identified Z172 MRSA strain (vancomycin-intermediate and daptomycin-nonsusceptible phenotype) and the vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis (VRE) strain. In a mouse model with lethal infection of MRSA (4N216), a 75% survival rate was observed after a single dose of compound 19 was intravenously administered at 20 mg/kg. In light of their equipotent activities against different MRSA isolates and VRE strain, the data underscore the importance of designed hybrid series for the development of new N-substituted carbazoles as potential anti-MRSA agents.
