The lipoxazolidinone family of marine natural products, with an unusual 4-oxazolidinone heterocycle at their core, represents a new scaffold for antimicrobial discovery; however, questions regarding their mechanism of action and high lipophilicity have likely slowed follow-up studies. Herein, we report the first synthesis of lipoxazolidinone A, 15 structural analogs to explore its active pharmacophore, and initial resistance and mechanism of action studies. These results suggest that 4-oxazolidinones are valuable scaffolds for antimicrobial development and reveal simplified lead compounds for further optimization.

5-[4-(4X-phenylsulfonyl)phenyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiols, X=H, Cl, Br, reacted with ethyl chloroacetate to give S-alkylated compounds. Aminomethylation of the thione form of oxadiazoles yielded N(3)-derivatives. All the products have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR. The plant-growth regulating effects of the title compounds were examined. From the biological activity results, we found that most compounds showed weak stimulatory activities at low concentrations.
