Title: New alpha-methylene-gamma-butyrolactones with antimycobacterial properties.

Authors: Hughes MA, McFadden JM, Townsend CA.

Abstract: The synthesis and antimycobacterial activity of a series of alpha-methylene-gamma-butyrolactones based on the natural product protolichesterinic acid are described. Compounds 9-12 bearing an allylamide group at the C-4 position showed improved activity with MICs in the range of 6.25-12.5 microg/mL.
