General information 1 H NMR and 13C NMR spectra were recorded on an AVANCE 500 spectrometer at 300K. The chemical shifts (δ) were measured downfield from internal tetramethylsilane. The mass spectra were recorded on a LTQ XL electrospray ionization (ESI) spectrometer. Elemental analyses were performed using a PERKIN ELMER Series II CHNS/O Analyzer 2400. Optical rotations were determined with a PERKIN ELMER Series Polarimeter Model 241. 2. Representative 1H NMR data (500 MHz, 25% ND3/D2O) and mass data of 2a-d Selective 1 H NMR (δ in p.p.m.) 3.

Evaluation of the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) The MICs were examined by a serial agar dilution method using Mueller-Hinton agar (Becton, Dickinson and Company) for S. aureus, E. coli and P. aeruginosa. The test suspension was prepared at approximately 104 CFU per 5 µl using a microplanter MIT-P inoculum replicating apparatus. The MIC was defined as the lowest concentration of antibiotic that inhibited development of visible growth on the agar after 18 h of incubation at 37 °C.
