Abstract:
Based on the idea of modification of sugar drugs, or transforming other active substances with sugar molecules, sixteen
D-glucosamine-fluoroquinolone (FQ) derivatives were designed by combining
D-glucosamine with FQs and synthesized by a multi-step reaction with shared intermediates. The assay results of anti-human pathogenic bacteria and anti-citrus canker showed that the inhibitory activities of two target molecules
TM2b and
TM2d against
Staphylococcus aureus ATCC14125 were stronger than those of all tested positive control drugs, and the inhibitory rates of target molecules
TM2m and
TM2n against
citrus canker were higher than that of the positive control streptomycin at the concentrations of 0.5 and 0.2 µg·mL
-1, respectively, which all were worthy of further study. In this study, a series of novel molecules composed of
D-glucosamine and FQs were synthesized for the first time, and super antibacterial molecules were found, which expanded the types and biological activities of
D-glucosamine derivatives.
