The invention provides a newly discovered oxadiazole class of antibiotics. The oxadiazoles impair cell-wall biosynthesis and exhibit activities against the Gram-positive bacteria such as the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, including methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant and linezolid-resistant S. aureus. For example, 5-(1H-indol-5-yl)-3-(4-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy)phenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole (antibiotic 75b) was efficacious in a mouse model of MRSA infection, exhibiting a long half-life, a high volume of distribution, and low clearance. Antibiotic 75b antibiotic is bactericidal and is orally bioavailable. This class of antibiotics can be used as a therapeutic agent against infections by Gram-positive bacteria such as MRSA.

Disclosed are a terbenzocyclopentadiene compound of better solubility and film-forming property, and a high polymer, mixture, composition and organic electronic device comprising same. This terbenzocyclopentadiene compound contains a benzocyclopentadiene structure. The matching of energy level and the symmetry of the structure provide a possibility for increasing the chemical/environmental stability of terbenzocyclopentadiene compounds and photoelectric devices. This terbenzocyclopentadiene compound has a better solubility in an organic solvent, and also facilitates forming a high-quality film by a printing method due to a high molecular weight. After this terbenzocyclopentadiene compound is used in OLED, particularly as a luminescent layer material, a higher quantum efficiency, luminescence stability and device life time can be provided.
