Title: 2-Naphthylcarbapenems: broad spectrum antibiotics with enhanced potency against MRSA.

Authors: Greenlee ML, DiNinno F, Herrmann JJ, Jaworsky C, Muthard DA, Salzmann TN.

Abstract: A regioisomeric set of 2-naphthylcarbapenems featuring cationic substituents was synthesized. Optimal placement of the cationic group was found to markedly improve activity against methicillin-resistant staphylococci while maintaining a good spectrum of gram-negative activity.
