Abstract
The synthesis, structural determination and biological evaluation of 15-membered azalides acylated at the C-3 position are described. 3-Descladinosyl-9a,l1-cyclic carbamate of the 9a-aza- 9a-homoerythromycin A and their 12-O-alkyl derivatives were synthesized via acidic hydrolysis of adequate 3-cladinosyl analogues. Protections of 2'-hydroxyl group were performed to furnish starting compounds for acylation of the C-3-hydroxyl group. After deprotection various 3-O-acyl derivatives were obtained and their structures confirmed by spectroscopic methods (IR, MS, NMR). The new compounds were evaluated in vitro against a panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and their activities compared with those of parent derivatives. The 3-O-acyl derivatives exhibited improved antibacterial activity, but it was lower than by standard macrolides.
