Side-chain derivatives of eurotiumide A, a dihydroisochroman-type natural product, have been synthesized and their antimicrobial activities described. Sixteen derivatives were synthesized from a key intermediate of the total synthesis of eurotiumide A, and their antimicrobial activities against two Gram-positive bacteria, methicillin-susceptible and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA and MRSA), and a Gram-negative bacterium, Porphyromonas gingivalis, were evaluated. The results showed that derivatives having an iodine atom on their aromatic ring instead of the prenyl moiety displayed better antimicrobial activity than eurotiumide A against MSSA and P. gingivalis. Moreover, we discovered that a derivative with an isopentyl side chain, which is a hydrogenated product of eurotiumide A, is the strongest antimicrobial agent against all three strains, including MRSA.
