摘要:
                                A series of 5-amino- and 5-hydroxyquinolone antibacterials substituted at C7 with a select group of common piperazinyl and 3-aminopyrrolidinyl side chains was prepared.  These 5-substituted derivatives were compared to the analogous 5-hydrogen compounds for antiinfective activity by using DNA gyrase inhibition, minimum inhibitory concentrations against a variety of bacteria, and in vivo efficacy in the mouse infection model.  The influence on the structure-activity relationships of varied substituents at C8 (H, F, Cl) and Ni (ethyl, cyclopropyl, difluorophenyl) was also studied.  The results showed that several of the structure-activity conclusions regarding side-chain bulk at C7, the effect of halogen at C8, and the effect of the C5-amino group were greatly influenced by the choice of the N1-substituent.  Several outstanding broad spectrum quinolones were identified in this work.  In particular, the spectrum and potency of the 7-piperazinyl quinolones could be greatly enhanced by the judicious choice of C5-, C8-, and N1-substitutents.
