  • Patent number: 7482439
    Abstract: Caprazene and caprazol could be synthesized by hydrolysis of a caprazamycin. There could be synthesized a caprazene-1??-amide derivative of the formula (II) and a caprazene-1??-ester derivative of the formula (III) from caprazene. Further, there could be synthesized a caprazol-1??-amide derivative of the formula (V) and a caprazol-1??-amide-3??-ester derivative and a caprazol-3??-ester derivative, etc. from caprazol. Furthermore, an imidazolidinone derivative could be synthesized from the ring-opened product of the 1,4-diazepinone ring of caprazol. The novel caprazene derivative, novel caprazol derivative and novel imidazolidinone derivative now synthesized exhibit excellent antibacterial activities against a variety of bacteria, including acid-fast bacteria.
