This paper reports on the rational design of a series of new 6-fluoroquinolones by QSAR analysis against Toxoplasma (T.) gondii, their synthesis, their biological evaluation against T. gondii and Plasmodium (P.) spp., and their effect on Mycobacterium (M.) tuberculosis DNA gyrase and growth inhibition. Of the 12 computer-designed 8-ethyl(or methoxy)- and 5-ethyl-8-methoxy-6-fluoroquinolones predicted to be active against T. gondii, we succeeded in the synthesis of four 6-fluoro-8-methoxy-quinolones. The four 6-fluoro-8-methoxy-quinolones are active on T. gondii but only one is as active as predicted. One of these four compounds appears to be an antiparasitical drug of great potential with inhibitory activities comparable to or higher than that of trovafloxacin, gatifloxacin, and moxifloxacin. They also inhibit DNA supercoiling by M. tuberculosis gyrase with an efficiency comparable to that of the most active quinolones but are poor inhibitors of M. tuberculosis growth.
