Abstract
The drastic increase in the emergence of methicillin and vancomycin resistant S. aureus has resulted in almost negligible treatment options available to tackle these drug-resistant strains and therefore, search for newer antibiotics is essential. In this context, a new series of quaternized fused β-carbolines was synthesized and evaluated for its anti-bacterial potential. Several compounds from the series displayed potent anti-bacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria including the drug-resistant strains with minimal cytotoxicity and promising bactericidal action.
期刊介绍:
Quality research. Outstanding publications. With an impact factor of 3.124 (2019), ChemMedChem is a top journal for research at the interface of chemistry, biology and medicine. It is published on behalf of Chemistry Europe, an association of 16 European chemical societies.
ChemMedChem publishes primary as well as critical secondary and tertiary information from authors across and for the world. Its mission is to integrate the wide and flourishing field of medicinal and pharmaceutical sciences, ranging from drug design and discovery to drug development and delivery, from molecular modeling to combinatorial chemistry, from target validation to lead generation and ADMET studies. ChemMedChem typically covers topics on small molecules, therapeutic macromolecules, peptides, peptidomimetics, and aptamers, protein-drug conjugates, nucleic acid therapies, and beginning 2017, nanomedicine, particularly 1) targeted nanodelivery, 2) theranostic nanoparticles, and 3) nanodrugs.
