A series of twelve 3-substituted-5,5-diphenylhydantoins was synthesized, including some whose anticonvulsant activities have already been reported in the literature. Their antiproliferative activities against HCT-116 human colon carcinoma cells were evaluated to determine structure-activity relationships. Almost all of the compounds exhibited statistically significant antiproliferative effects at a concentration of 100 ?M, while the derivative bearing a benzyl group was active even at lower concentrations. Moreover, their in vitro antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and clinical isolates of Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus aureus were evaluated. Only the 3-iso-propyl and 3-benzyl derivatives showed weak antibacterial activities against the Gram-positive bacterium E. faecalis and the Gram-negative bacteria E. coli ATCC 25922 and E. coli.

ABSTRACT A fluorescence polarization assay is described that measures the binding of fluorescently labeled erythromycin to 70S ribosomes from Escherichia coli and the displacement of the erythromycin from these ribosomes. The assay has been validated with several macrolide derivatives and other known antibiotics. We demonstrate that this assay is suitable for determining the dissociation constants of novel compounds that have binding sites overlapping those of macrolides. This homogeneous binding assay provides a valuable tool for defining structure-activity relationships among compounds during the discovery and development of new ribosome-targeting drugs.
