Abstract

Important resistance patterns in Gram-negative pathogens include active efflux of antibiotics out of the cell via a cellular pump and decreased membrane permeability. A 3-arylpiperidine derivative (1) has been identified by high-throughput assay as a potentiator with an IC50∼ 90μM. This report details the evaluation of the tether length, aryl substitution and the importance of the fluorine on antibiotic accumulation. Evaluation of various tether lengths ...
