[0002] With the widespread use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, bacterial resistance has become an increasingly serious problem. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was first discovered in hospitalized patients in the 1960s (New England Journal of Medicine, 1968, 279, 441). MRSA can cause highly fatal fulminant invasive diseases such as pneumonia, osteomyelitis, and sepsis, exhibiting extremely high virulence and drug resistance (Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2009, 7, 629). Therefore, the development of novel antibiotics to combat MRSA infections has become an urgent need.

[0063] The following experimental examples demonstrate the beneficial effects of the compounds of this invention.
[0064] Experimental Example 1: Antibacterial Zone Experiment of the Compound of the Invention The inhibition zone was determined using the perforated diffusion method. The concentration of the test strain was first diluted to 1×10⁻⁶ with culture medium. 5 For each CFU / mL bacterial culture, 100 μL of the bacterial suspension was evenly spread onto the surface of a broth agar plate. The plate was allowed to stand for 5 minutes to allow the bacteria to absorb the suspension, and then wells were punched. A basal stock solution of 25000 μg / mL was prepared using sterile water. Before use, the stock solution was diluted to 250 μg / mL with culture medium. 50 μL of the solution was added to each well, and the plate was allowed to stand for 30 minutes to allow diffusion. The plate was then inverted and incubated at 37°C for 16-18 hours. The diameter of the transparent inhibition zone around each well was measured with calipers, accurate to 0.1 mm. Vancomycin (125 μg / mL) was used as a standard reference. Plates containing only culture medium (negative control) and plates inoculated only with the bacterial suspension (positive control) were also prepared to verify the reliability of the experimental system. Each test compound was tested in triplicate, with three replicates. Experiments showed that compounds 1e, 1f, 1g, 1h, and 1i all had certain inhibitory effects on Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Bacillus thuringiensis, and Bacillus subtilis, with compounds 1h and 1i exhibiting the best antibacterial activity.
[0065] Experimental Example 2: Determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration of the compound of the present invention The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the compound was determined by the microbroth dilution method, and the experimental procedure strictly followed the CLSI guidelines. The test strain concentration was diluted with culture medium to 1 × 10⁻⁶. 5The test compound was prepared as a basal stock solution using sterile water at a concentration of CFU / mL, and then diluted to 80 μg / mL with culture medium before use. The 80 μg / mL concentration of the test compound was then serially diluted in sterile centrifuge tubes (80 μg / mL, 40 μg / mL, 20 μg / mL, 10 μg / mL, 5 μg / mL, 2.5 μg / mL, 1.25 μg / mL, 0.625 μg / mL). Then, 90 μL of culture medium, 10 μL of bacterial suspension, and 100 μL of the serially diluted drug solution were added to each well of a 96-well plate sequentially. The plates were incubated at 37°C for 16-18 hours, and the results were recorded. Vancomycin was used as the standard reference drug in this experiment, and blank and negative controls were also included to ensure data reliability. Each test compound was tested in triplicate, with three replicates. Experimental results showed that compounds 1e, 1i, and 1k had the greatest inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus, with MICs of 1.25 μg / mL, 1.25 μg / mL, and 0.625 μg / mL, respectively.
[0066] Experimental Example 3: Determination of the time-bactericidal dynamic curve of the compound of the present invention The dynamic bactericidal activity of the dominant compound was evaluated using the time-bactericidal curve method. Staphylococcus aureus was inoculated into broth (NB) medium and cultured at 37°C with shaking at 120 rpm until the logarithmic growth phase (1 × 10⁻⁶). 5 CFU / mL). Test compounds at concentrations of 4 × MIC and 8 × MIC were added, with vancomycin at 8 × MIC as a positive control and pure bacterial culture as a negative control. At specific time points (0h, 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 12h, 24h), 100 μL of sample was taken from the mixed culture medium and serially diluted 10-fold with physiological saline. Then, 100 μL of the diluted sample was plated onto BA plates. The plates were incubated at 37℃ for 16-18 hours, and the colony count (CFU / mL) was recorded on plates with a count between 30-300. Each sample was tested in triplicate, with three replicates. The method for calculating viable cell count is as follows: Viable bacteria count (CFU / mL) = Average colony count × Dilution factor × 10 (0.1 mL of sample dilution solution is used for plating) Experimental results showed that when the concentration of compound 1i was 10 μg / mL (8×MIC), compound 1i could kill Staphylococcus aureus within 8 hours, while the positive control vancomycin (8×MIC) could not completely kill the bacteria within 8 hours, and the bactericidal effect was lower than or equivalent to the bactericidal effect of compound 1i at the concentration of 8×MIC.
[0067] Experimental Example 4: Hemolytic Toxicity Test of the Compounds of the Invention Hemolytic activity was assessed using sterile human blood, with results expressed as HC. 50 This indicates the concentration of the compound that causes hemolysis in 50% of red blood cells. A 5% red blood cell suspension was prepared using sterile human red blood cells in PBS (1:19, v / v). The test compound was dissolved in PBS to prepare a basal stock solution of a specific concentration. The test compound was then serially diluted with PBS in sterile centrifuge tubes (25600 μg / mL, 12800 μg / mL, 6400 μg / mL, 3200 μg / mL, 1600 μg / mL, 800 μg / mL, 400 μg / mL, 200 μg / mL) for later use. Then, 450 μL of PBS, 25 μL of red blood cell suspension, and 25 μL of the serially diluted test solution were added sequentially to a new EP tube. The mixture was incubated at 37°C for 1 hour. After centrifugation at 4℃ and 2000 rpm for 5 minutes, 200 μL of the supernatant was added to a 96-well plate, and the absorbance (OD) of the supernatant at 540 nm was measured using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. 540 This experiment included PBS as a negative control and 1% Triton X-100 as a positive control to ensure data reliability. The hemolysis rate was calculated as follows: Hemolysis rate (%) = (OD sample – OD negative control) / (OD positive control – OD negative control) × 100%.
[0068] The selectivity index (SI) is determined by HC. 50 It is determined by dividing by the MIC value (μg / mL) of Staphylococcus aureus.

RAW264.7 cells in logarithmic growth phase were prepared into 1×10⁶ cells using DMEM medium containing 10% FBS. 5Cell suspension was prepared at a concentration of 100 μL / mL. The test compound 1i was dissolved in serum-free DMEM to prepare a basal stock solution of a specific concentration. The test compound was then serially diluted with serum-free DMEM in sterile centrifuge tubes to (16 μM, 32 μM, 64 μM, 128 μM, 256 μM, 512 μM) for later use. In 96-well plates, 100 μL of cell suspension was added to each well, with an equal volume of sterile PBS added to the edge wells to eliminate edge effects. The 96-well plates were incubated at 37°C with 5% CO2 for 24 h until cells adhered and covered approximately 80% of the well bottom. The old culture medium was discarded, and the cells were gently washed 1-2 times with pre-warmed sterile PBS, discarding all PBS. 100 μL of the serially diluted test solution was added to each well, with three replicates for each concentration. A blank control group (serum-free DMEM only) and a negative control group (cells added, but no drug added) were also set up. The plates were returned to the incubator and incubated for another 24 h. After culture, discard the old drug-containing culture medium, gently wash the cells 1-2 times with pre-warmed sterile PBS, and discard the PBS; add 100 μL of a mixture of 10 μL CCK-8 reagent and 90 μL serum-free DMEN to each well, gently tap the plate wall to mix, avoiding the formation of air bubbles; incubate at 37℃ and 5% CO2 for 1-2 h, and measure the absorbance (OD) of each well at 450 nm using a microplate reader. 450 ).
