Ozenoxacin, sold under the brand names Ozanex and Xepi, is a quinolone antibiotic used for the treatment of impetigo.[4] A 1% topical cream is approved for treatment of impetigo in Canada[5] and in the United States.[6][7]

Ozenoxacin is active against some bacteria that have developed resistance to

fluoroquinolone antibiotics.[8]

Mechanism of Action

Like other quinolone antibiotics, ozenoxacin targets DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV.[9]

Its activity against bacteria with fluoroquinolone resistance is attributed to its evasion of bacterial efflux pumps.[8]

Chemistry

Synthesis

Synthesis of Ozenoxacin

Ozenoxacin is synthesized by the Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling of a bromoquinolone and a pyridyl tributylstannane (Stille coupling).[10][11]

The pyridyl tributylstannane is synthesized from the corresponding dihalopyridine. This is achieved through a sequence of nucleophilic aromatic substitution with methylamine, which is protected as the acetamide using acetic anhydride and this is converted to the organostannane through a Pd-catalyzed stannylation with bis(tributyltin).

The bromoquinolone is made from the N-cyclopropyl aniline and diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate, which react through a Michael addition, followed by elimination of the ethoxy group and then a Friedel-Crafts acylation at elevated temperature. The N-cyclopropyl aniline is prepared by a Pd-catalyzed cross coupling of 2,6-dibromotoluene and cyclopropylamine (Buchwald-Hartwig coupling).
