Aryl urea analogs with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2004 Nov 15;14(22):5569-72. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2004.08.059.

Abstract

The preparation and evaluation of novel aryl urea analogs as broad-spectrum antibacterial agents is described. Numerous compounds showed low micromolar minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Selected analogs also exhibited in vivo efficacy in a lethal murine model of bacterial septicemia.
