3-Amino-4-hydroxyquinolin-2 (1H)-one compounds (aminocarbostyrils) were synthesized by a reaction of methyl isocyanoacetate with isatoic anhydrides in the presence of 1, 8-diazabicyclo [5, 4, 0] undec-7-ene (DBU), followed by hydrolysis with HCl. The alkylation of oxazolo [4, 5-c] quinolin-4 (5H)-ones which are the intermediates of the aminocarbostyrils and the acylation of aminocarbostyrils were also investigated. Furthermore, a variety of the quinolin-2 (1H)-one analogs showed antiallergic activity.
This invention relates to antibacterial drug compounds containing a tricyclic ring system. It also relates to pharmaceutical formulations of antibacterial drug compounds. It also relates to uses of the derivatives in treating bacterial infections and in methods of treating bacterial infections. The invention is also directed to antibacterial drug compounds which are capable of treating bacterial infections which are currently hard to treat with existing drug compounds.
