Antibacterial activity of 5-dialkylaminomethylhydantoins and related compounds.
To find new antibacterial leads in the class of hydantoin derivatives, we carried out synthetic investigation and biological evaluation of the title hydantoin derivatives and related compounds. Among the hydantoin derivatives described in this article, compound 3o, in which a 2,6-dichlorophenyl ring was introduced at the N-3 position of the hydantoin nucleus, showed the highest levels of antibacterial activity against both Escherichia coli NBRC14237 (NIHJ) and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC6538P (gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, respectively) strains.
