Novel nitrofurazone derivatives endowed with antimicrobial activity

Arch Pharm (Weinheim). 2008 Oct;341(10):655-60. doi: 10.1002/ardp.200700243.

Abstract

The N-alkylated derivatives from nitrofurazone were synthesised and evaluated in vitro for their efficacy as antimicrobial agents against representative strains, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The derivative 2a demonstrated greater activity than the prototype and was comparable to currently used antimicrobial drugs.
