A homologous series of N-acetic acid esters of 2-pyrrolidinone and 2- piperidinone has been prepared and evaluated for its ability to enhance the skin content and flux of hydrocortisone 21-acetate in hairless mouse skin in vitro. Enhancement ratios (ER) were determined for flux (J), 24-hour diffusion cell receptor cell concentrations (Q24), and 24-h full-thickness mouse skin steroid content (SC) and compared to control values (no enhancer present). In addition, in an attempt to abrogate toxicity, these dermal penetration enhancers were designed to have the potential for biodegradation by dermal esterases. 2-Oxopyrrolidine-α-acetic acid dodecyl ester (5) showed the highest enhancement ratios for J (ER 67.33) and Q24 (ER 180.66). 2- Oxopiperidine-α-acetic acid decyl ester (10) showed a high Q24 (ER 162.07) but a lower J (ER 12.67). 2-Oxopyrrolidine-α-acetic acid decyl ester (3) showed the highest enhancement ratio for SC (ER 8.7). The ER Q24 for 3, 5 and 10, as well as other lactam N-acetic acid esters in this work, were significantly higher than the ER found using Azone as enhancer.

The present invention relates to novel antibacterial agents, corresponding to the following general formula I STR1 in which: Q represents an aromatic ring, X represents a hydrogen atom or a linear or branched alkyl group, Y represents a linkage or an alkyl group, Z represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl, aralkyl or heteroalkyl group. These compounds constitute anti-bacterial agents with multiple pharmacological activity.
