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.
Chiral DNA gyrase inhibitors. 2. Asymmetric synthesis and biological activity of the enantiomers of 9-fluoro-3-methyl-10-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-7-oxo-2,3-dihydro-7H-py ido[1,2,3,-de]-1,4-benzoxazine-6-carboxylic acid (ofloxacin)

A short and efficient synthesis, starting with (R)- and (S)-alaninol, of the two optical antipodes of the quinolone antimicrobial agent ofloxacin has been devised. Testing in vitro of the products against a range of bacteria and in an assay system incorporating purified DNA gyrase from different bacterial species demonstrates that the S-(-) enantiomer is substantially the more active.
