title: New carbon-linked azole oxazolidinones with improved potency and pharmacokinetics.
abstract: Substitution of phenyl oxazolidinones with carbon-linked azoles resulted in the discovery of a new class of potent oxazolidinones that have excellent Gram-positive activity. In addition, replacement of the C-5 acetamide side chains with a 4-methyl triazole diminished monoamine oxidase activity. The synthesis and biological evaluation of these compounds are reported.
