- ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE BREAKERS
-
The invention relates to antibiotic compounds of formula (A1) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, tautomers and combinations thereof, wherein X and L are optional linkers and one of RA or R1 comprises Ar1, wherein Ar1 is an antibiotic resistance breaker moiety which comprises an optionally substituted C6-10 aryl, C7-13 aralkyl, C5-10 heteroaryl, C6-13 heteroaralkyl, C5-10 heterocyclyl, C6-13 heterocyclalkyl, C3-10 carbocyclyl, C4-13 carbocyclalkyl, -C(=NR')-NR'R'' or –CH2- CH=CH2 group; wherein after administration of the compound to a bacterial infection this moiety reduces or prevents efflux. The invention also discloses pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds of formula (A1) and the use of such compounds as medicaments, in particular, to treat bacterial infections, such as drug-resistant bacterial infections.

- Structure-Activity Relationships of Antibacterial 6,7- and 7,8-Disubstituted 1-Alkyl-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic Acids
-
Previous quantitative and qualitative structure-activity studies in antibacterial monosubstituted 1-ethyl-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acids prompted us to synthesize the 6,7,8-polysubstituted compounds.In this paper, the preparation and antibacterial activity of the 6,7- and 7,8-disubstituted compounds and their derivatives are described.Among these compounds, 1-ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-(1-piperazinyl)quinoline-3-carboxylic acid (34) possessed many significant activities and was more active than oxolinic acid (84) against Gram-positive andGram-negative bacteria.Structure activity relationships are discussed.
