[摘要]:Two series of novel 1,5-benzothiazepine derivatives (23 compounds) were efficiently synthesized and evaluated for antibacterial and antifungal activities. The results indicated that the compounds possessed a broad spectrum of activity against the tested microorganisms and showed higher activity against fungi than bacteria. Compound 2e exhibited the greatest antimicrobial activity. Preliminary study of the structure-activity relationship revealed that substituents in phenyl rings had a great effect on the antimicrobial activity of these compounds.
