Abstract :
An effort to identify novel inhibitors of peptidoglycan synthesis with antibacterial activity resulted in the discovery of a series of biaryl urea-based antibacterial agents through isolation of a by-product from a mixture-based combinatorial library of semi-carbazones and subsequent parallel synthesis efforts. The compounds were shown to possess broad spectrum antibacterial activity against gram-positive drug resistant pathogens, and showed apparent specificity for disruption of the bacterial cell wall biosynthesis pathway.
