摘要
Synthetic optimization of a biologically labile class of dipeptides that function as efflux pump inhibitors to potentiate the antibacterial agent levofloxacin in Pseudomonas aeruginosa has led to the discovery of a related series of compounds that are completely stable in a variety of biological matrices. Other than the stability profile, the in vitro profile of the new series is essentially identical to that observed with the original one. A prototypical compound from the new series demonstrates potentiation in an in vivo model of infection. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
