Sutariya, Narendra Nayal, Anil Srivastava, Joy Beanland, Robin Hall, Vincent Henstock, Caterina Noula, Chris Rockley, Lloyd Czaplewski3-Methoxybenzamide (1) is a weak inhibitor of the essential bacterial cell division protein FtsZ. Alkyl derivatives of 1 are potent antistaphylococcal compounds with suboptimal drug-like properties. Exploration of the structure−activity relationships of analogues of these inhibitors led to the identification of potent antistaphylococcal compounds with improved pharmaceutical properties.
