Studies on quinolone antibacterials. IV. Structure-activity relationships of antibacterial activity and side effects for 5- or 8-substituted and 5,8- disubstituted-7-(3-amino-1-pyrrolidinyl)-1-cyclopropyl-1,4-dihydro-4- oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acids

A series of 7-(3-amino-1-pyrrolidinyl)-1-cyclopropyl-1,4-dihydro-4- oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acids bearing various substituents (H, F, Cl, Me, OH, OMe, OEt, OCH2F, OCHF2, OCF3, SMe) at the C-8 position was prepared and evaluated for in vitro antibacterial activity against both standard laboratory strains and bacteria resistant to quinolones such as ciprofloxacin (CPFX, 1) and ofloxacin (OFLX, 2) from clinical isolates. The 8-methyl (8a), 8-fluoro (9a), 8-chloro (10a) and 8-methoxy (12a) compounds were 4 times more potent than CPFX (1) against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. But these four compounds caused injury to the chromosomes of mammalian cells at a concentration of 100 μg/ml. Next, a series of quinolones having various substituents (H, Cl, Me, NH2, NHMe, NMe2) at the C-5 position was prepared and evaluated for antibacterial activity and injurious effect on the chromosome. We found that the 5-amino-8-methyl compound (8d) showed strong antibacterial activity (in vitro antibacterial activity of 8d is 4 times more potent than that of CPFX (1) against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria), reduced injury to the chromosome, and reduced quinolone-type toxicity (free from both phototoxicity at a dosage of 30 mg/kg in guinea pigs (i.v.) and convulsion-inducing activity when coadministered with fenbufen at a dosage of 100 mg/kg in mice (i.p.)).
