Synthesis and SAR of azalide 3,6-ketal aromatic derivatives as potent gram-positive and gram-negative antibacterial agents

3,6-Ketals of 15-membered azalide pseudoaglycones are a novel series of macrolide antibiotics. The aromatic derivatives of the azalide 3,6-ketals demonstrated potent antibacterial activities against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Azalide 3,6-Ketals: antibacterial activity and structure–Activity relationships of aryl and hetero aryl substituted analogues

Aryl and hetero aryl substituted 3,6-ketals of 15-membered azalide analogues were synthesized and were found to have potent in vitro antibacterial activity against veterinary pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus and Pasteurella multocida.
