摘要
Nitrofuranyl benzimidazoles can be made in one synthetic step from commercially available starting materials. The compounds displayed unexpected antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci with MICs as low as 1 mu g ml(-1).
