A set of structurally related diphenylurea derivatives I [R = Ph, furan-2-yl, cyclohexyl, iso-Bu, etc.] bearing aminoguanidine moiety was synthesized, and their antibacterial activity was assessed against a panel of multi-drug resistant Gram-pos. clin. isolates. Two compounds I [R = furan-2-yl, 4-methyl-pent-1-en-1-yl] were identified with better bacteriol. profile than the lead I [R = I]. The multi-step resistance development studies indicated that MRSA are less likely to develop resistance toward diphenylurea compounds I. Moreover, these compounds I demonstrated a prolonged post-antibiotic effect than that of vancomycin. Furthermore, compounds I [R = furan-2-yl, 4-methyl-pent-1-en-1-yl] were able to re-sensitize VRSA to vancomycin, resulting in 8- to more than 32-fold improvement in vancomycin MIC values against clin. VRSA isolates. Finally, when assessed in an in vivo skin infection mouse model, the efficacy of I [R = 4-methyl-pent-1-en-1-yl] was very comparable to that of the com. available fusidic acid ointment. Addnl., the diphenylurea I [R = 4-methyl-pent-1-en-1-yl] did not have a pronounced effect on the animal weights along the experiment indicating its safety and tolerability to mice. Taken together, these results indicate that the diphenylurea scaffold merits further investigation as a promising anti-staphylococcal treatment option.
