Abstract

A series of second-generation analogues for 2-(1-(2-(4-butylphenyl)-4-methylthiazol-5-yl) ethylidene) aminoguanidine (1) have been synthesized and tested against methicillin- resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The compounds were designed with the objective of improving pharmacokinetic properties. This main aim has been accomplished by replacing the rapidly hydrolyzable Schiff-base moiety of first-generation members with a ...
