Abstract

This invention relates to compounds of the general formula: wherein A is a aromatic hydrocarbon ring system and R 1 is a carbon bound directly to an oxygen and is also bound to a nitrogen through a saturated carbon and wherein at least one of R 2 , R 3 and R 4 is an electron-rich substituent. The active agents are useful for treating patients suffering from infections including gram positive organisms, such as streptococcus, staphylococcus, anthracis, gram negative bacteria such as neisseria species, yeasts and mycobacterium. They are effective against strains which have shown resistance to other antimicrobial agents.
