Synthesis and Anti-Infective Activity of 2-Heteroaryl(Acyl)-9,10,12,13-Tetramethoxy-3-Methyl-4,5-Dihydro-3H-Phenanthro[1,2-d]Azepines

Resumo

2-Hetaryl- and 2-acyl-9,10,12,13-tetramethoxy-3-methyl-4,5-dihydro-3H-phenanthro[1,2-d]-azepines have been synthesized from 8,9,11,12-tetramethoxy-2-methyl-3,4-dihydronaphtho[2,1-f]isoquinolinium perchlorate by pyridine-azepine recyclization. The resulting compounds have revealed a pronounced antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (strain P-209) and Escherichia coli (field strain 078). Some of these compounds have a moderate fungistatic activity against Peniciliium italicum fungi. Two compounds have shown a certain activity in relation to the Colpoda steinii protozoa.
