TEXT EXAMPLE 1

The compounds of the invention were tested for antimicrobial activity.

(Test Method)

Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC: μg/ml) against different strains of bacteria was determined according to the standard method recommended by CLSI (clinical and laboratory standards institute). Samples were prepared by dissolving a test compound solution into DMSO (1280 μg/mL), followed by two fold dilution with DMSO. The sample was added to a bacteria suspension at the concentration of 5%, and MIC was determined. Mueller Hinton Broth was adjusted for cation concentration and used as a culture media. The inoculation concentration was about 5×10 5 CFU/mL.

(Result)

The compound of the invention showed strong antimicrobial activity, which was comparable to or more (e.g., four times or more) than linezolid and vancomycin, against various strains of bacteria, including MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ), PRSP (penicillin resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae ), VRE (vancomycin resistance enterococcus), VISA (vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus ). For example, the MIC values of the compounds of the working examples (e.g., Examples A91 and B38) were equal to or less. than 1 μg/mL, against these strains of bacteria.

The compound of the invention is useful as a pharmaceutical active ingredient or as an intermediate in the synthesis thereof. Particularly, the compound of the invention is useful as antimicrobial agent based on its antimicrobial activity.
