Abstract

Tylosin is a 16-membered Macrolide broad-spectrum Antibiotic that has an important role in veterinary medicine, active against Gram-positive and a restricted range of Gram-negative bacteria. We synthesized 15 types of tylosin-related derivatives by chemical modification and evaluated them against mastitis pathogens. Among them, 20-deoxy-20-{N-methyl-N-[1-(3-quinolyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]methylamino}-5-O-mycaminosyltylonolide 2f and 20-deoxy-20-{N-benzyl-N-[1-(3-quinolyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]methylamino}-5-O-mycaminosyltylonolide 2k were found to not only expand their Antibacterial impact to include Gram-negative bacteria, such as Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, but also to retain or increase Antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus uberis in comparison with the parent tylosin.
