Abstract
Members of a series of macrocyclic bis(bibenzyl) riccardin-class derivatives were found to exhibit antibacterial activity towards methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (anti-MRSA activity). Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies were conducted, focusing on the number and position of the hydroxyl groups. The minimum essential structure for anti-MRSA activity was also investigated.
