A series of 8-(trifluoromethyl)-substituted quinolones has been prepared and evaluated for in vitro and in vivo antibacterial activity, and phototolerance in a mouse phototolerance assay. These analogues were compared to the corresponding series of 6,8-difluoro- and 6-fluoro-8H-quinolones (ciprofloxacin type). Although their in vitro antibacterial activities are less than the 6,8-difluoro analogues, the 8-(trifluoromethyl)quinolones are generally equivalent to their 8H analogues. In vivo, they are comparable to the 6,8-difluoro series and show up to 10-fold improvement in efficacy when compared to their ciprofloxacin counterparts vs Streptococcus pyogenes and Streptococcus pneumonia. In the phototolerance model, the 8-(trifluoromethyl)quinolones are comparable to the 8H-quinolones. Both of these series display much higher no effect doses (greater tolerance) than the corresponding 6,8-difluoroquinolones.
