“…T he chemistry of aminothiazoles and their derivatives has attracted the attention of chemists, because they exhibit important biological activity in medicinal chemistry [1], such as antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, antihelmintic, or fungicidal properties [2][3][4]. 2-Aminothiazoles are known mainly as biologically active compounds with a broad range of activities and as intermediates in the synthesis of antibiotics, well-known sulfa drugs, and some dyes [5,6].…”

“…We previously reported that a 2-(4-arylthiazol-2-ylthio)-1␤-methylcarbapenem, SM-17466, and its derivatives exhibited potent activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) corresponding to a high affinity for bacterial penicillin-binding protein 2a (PBP2a) (22,28). SM-17466 showed a higher level of activity against Enterococcus faecium than existing carbapenems, prompting us to search for new carbapenems with potent activity against MRSA and vancomycin-resistant E. faecium (VRE) (25).…”

“…We previously reported that the 2-(4-arylthiazol-2-ylthio)-1␤-methylcarbapenem SM-17466 and its derivatives exhibited potent anti-MRSA activity corresponding to a high affinity for PBP2a (23,25). Although SM-17466 showed good efficacy in a murine systemic infection model of MRSA and acceptable toxicological profiles in preliminary animal experiments, it did not show sufficient activity against E. faecium, prompting us to search for new carbapenems with potent activity against both MRSA and E. faecium, including VRE.…”
