Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections are a significant global health challenge due to the emergence of strains exhibiting resistance to nearly all classes of antibiotics. This necessitates the rapid development of novel antimicrobials to circumvent this critical problem. Screening of compounds based on phenotypes is one of the major strategies for finding new antibiotics at present. Hence, we here performed a phenotypic screening against MRSA and identified NPS-2143 exhibiting activity against MRSA with an MIC value of 16 μg ml?1. In order to discover more potent anti-MRSA agents, a series of derivatives of NPS-2143 were designed and synthesized. The most promising compounds 48 and 49 exhibited favorable antimicrobial activity with an MIC value of 2 μg ml?1.
