Dihydropleuromutilin

Dihydropleuromutilin is a semi-synthetic pleuromutilin formed by selective reduction of the ethene to ethyl. Dihydropleuromutilin exhibits comparable antibiotic potency to pleuromutilin. Extensive studies have been undertaken on semi-synthetic dihydropleuromutilin analogues but the parent compound has received only limited attention.

Dihydropleuromutilin is soluble in ethanol, methanol, DMF and DMSO.
