Abstract
Structure--activity relationship studies of 1beta-methyl-2-[(3S,5R)-5-(4-aminomethylphenyl)pyrrolidin-3-ylthio]carbapenems, especially those pertaining to the relationship between antibacterial activity and side-chain structure were conducted. These studies suggested that the trans-(3S,5R)-5-phenylpyrrolidin-3-ylthio side-chain and the aminomethyl group at the 4-position of the phenyl ring play a key role in enhancing the antibacterial activity against the MRSA and Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains. In particular, the basicity of a substituent at the 4-position of the phenyl ring were shown to greatly contribute to the antibacterial activity against MRSA and methicillin-resistant Staphyloccocus epidermidis strains. In contrast, the amidine group was shown to lead to potent antibacterial activity against P. aeruginosa strains comparable to that of imipenem, however, a good correlation between the basicity of the 4-substituent and antipseudomonal activity was not observed. In conclusion, the 4-aminomethyl or methylaminomethyl group on the phenyl ring was the best substituent for antipseudomonal activity.
