    Abstract:
    The UV-light induced photosubstitution of 3,4-dibromo-2,5-dihydro-1H-2,5-pyrroledione (2) [1] with pyrrole derivatives leads to 3-mono- and 3,4-disubstituted pyrrolediones depending on the starting material. These pyrrole homologues of arcyriarubin A (1) are further processed by nucleophilic substitution of the remaining bromine substitutent with pyrrolidine. Cleavage of the protecting group affords the free pyrrole substituents. By UV-light irradiation the azasiline-system (6) is accessible, and its structure was established by X-ray methods. The in vitro antibacterial activity of the pyrrolediones was evaluated, and a strong activity of the compounds 4, 7, 8 and 12 against the methicillin- and ciprofloxacin-resistant bacterium Staphylococcus aureus 134/94 was established.
