The invention discloses a
pleuromutilin compound as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
medicine synthesis. The compound is a polysubstituted
aryl amide thioether pleuromutilin derivative, and is synthesized by the following method:
pleuromutilin is taken as a
raw material, methylsulfonylation is performed on a C-22
side chain terminal hydroxyl group, a
nucleophilic substitution reaction is performed on the pleuromutilin and a sulfydryl-containing aromatic intermediate, and
nitryl is reduced to obtain a target compound. According to the pleuromutilin compound provided by the invention, key groups of a parent
nucleus are reserved and optimized, the binding capacity and physicochemical properties of the compound and an action target are enhanced by introducing a
thioether bond and a polysubstituted
aryl amide group, and an in-vitro
antibacterial activity test shows that the pleuromutilin compound has strong inhibitory activity on various
pathogenic bacteria and can be used for preparing antibacterial agents. The activity of part of the compounds is superior to that of clinically common medicines
tiamulin and
valnemulin. The compound is suitable for preparing medicines for preventing and / or treating
bacterial infectious diseases, and is used for developing novel and efficient antibacterial medicines.
