title: Synthesis, antimicrobial evaluation and structure-activity relationships within 23-modified derivatives of 5-O-mycaminosyltylonolide.
abstract: A large series of C-23-modified derivatives of 5-O-mycaminosyltylonolide were synthesized, in which the C-23 hydroxyl group was replaced by halo, aryl ether or thioether, azido, amino or dialkylamino substituents via SN2 displacement reactions. The majority of derivatives possessed excellent in vitro activity against a variety of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. While some of the compounds treated experimental infections in rodents by parenteral administration, none showed any significant efficacy or bioavailability after oral dosing. Novel rearrangement products were obtained from some of the reactions; these were identified as 13,23-cyclopropyl-12,22-exomethylene and 13,23-cyclopropyl-12-alkoxy derivatives.
