Abstract

The 11, 12-cyclic carbazate of 3-keto-6-O-methylerythromycin A (4) was prepared. This compound shows in vitro antibacterial activity comparable to erythromycin A (1) against erythromycin-susceptible organisms and increased activity against some erythromycin-resistant organisms. Using 4 as a lead, a series of analogues was prepared by acylation or alkylation of the carbazate nitrogen. Several of the N-alkylated derivatives showed dramatically improved antibacterial activity against both susceptible and resistant organisms as compared to erythromycin A.
