While the ribosome is a common target for antibiotics, challenges with crystallography can impede the development of new bioactives using structure-based drug design approaches. In this study we exploit common structural features present in linezolid-resistant forms of both methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) to redesign the antibiotic. Enabled by rapid and facile cryoEM structures, this process has identified (S)-2,2-dichloro-N-((3-(3-fluoro-4-morpholinophenyl)-2-oxooxazolidin-5-yl)methyl)acetamide (LZD-5) and (S)-2-chloro-N-((3-(3-fluoro-4-morpholinophenyl)-2-oxooxazolidin-5-yl)methyl) acetamide (LZD-6), which inhibit the ribosomal function and growth of linezolid-resistant MRSA and VRE. The strategy discussed highlights the potential for cryoEM to facilitate the development of novel bioactive materials.

The invention relates to a linezolid (1) preparation method. The method comprises the following steps: reacting a raw material 3,4-difluoronitrobenzene with morpholine, reducing, reacting with benzyl chloroformate to obtain N-benzyloxycarbonyl-3-fluoro-4-morpholinylaniline, carrying out a ring closure reaction of N-benzyloxycarbonyl-3-fluoro-4-morpholinylaniline and (S)-N-(2,3-epoxypropyl)phthalimide, ammonolyzing, and acetylating to obtain linezolid (1).

Research activities on the oxazolidinone antibacterial class of compounds continue to focus on developing newer derivatives with improved potency, broad-spectrum activity and safety profiles superior to linezolid. Among the safety concerns with the oxazolidinone antibacterial agents is inhibition of monoamine oxidases (MAO) resulting from their structural similarity with toloxatone, a known MAO inhibitor. Diverse substitution patterns at the C-5 position of the oxazolidinone ring have been shown to significantly affect both antibacterial activity and MAO inhibition to varying degrees. Also, the antibacterial activity of compounds containing iron-chelating functionalities, such as the hydroxamic acids, 8-hydroxyquinolines and catechols have been correlated to their ability to alter iron intake and/or metabolism. Hence a series of novel 5-(hydroxamic acid)methyl oxazolidinone derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their antibacterial and MAO-A and -B inhibitory activities. The compounds were devoid of significant antibacterial activity but most demonstrated moderate MAO-A and -B inhibitory activities. Computer modeling studies revealed that the lack of potent antibacterial activity was due to significant steric interaction between the hydroxamic acid N-OH oxygen atom and one of the G2540 5′-phosphate oxygen atoms at the bacterial ribosomal binding site. Therefore, the replacement of the 5-acetamidomethyl group of linezolid with the 5-(N-hydroxyacetamido)methyl group present in the hydroxamic acid oxazolidinone derivatives was concluded to be detrimental to antibacterial activity. Furthermore, the 5-(hydroxamic acid)methyl oxazolidinone derivatives were also less active as MAO-A and -B inhibitors compared with linezolid and the selective inhibitors clorgyline and pargyline. In general, the 5-(hydroxamic acid)methyl oxazolidinone derivatives demonstrated moderate but selective MAO-B inhibitory activity.
