摘要:
A series of ampicillin and amoxicillin derivatives containing an N-1-substituted-(6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoqinolin-3-yl) carbonyl moiety at the a-amino group were prepared and their antibacterial activities were evaluated. These derivatives displayed a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity against Gram-(+) and Gram-(-) bacteria. In comparison with the original antibiotics, some of the derivatives were more active against Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains. However, their antibacterial activities decrease when N-1 substitution was replaced with alkyl substituents. Interestingly, several products induced filamentation in three strains of P. aeruginosa.
