The dramatic increase in drug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis has caused a resurgence in research targeted toward these organisms.As part of a systematic study to optimize the quinolone antibacterials against mycobacteria, we have prepared a series of N-1-phenyl-substituted derivatives to explore the effect of increasing lipophilicity on potency at this position.The compounds, synthesized by the modification of a literature procedure, were evaluated for activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, Mycobacterium fortuitum and Mycobacterium smegmatis, and the results correlated with log P, pKa, and other attributes.The activity of the compounds against the rapidly growing, less hazardous organism M. fortuitum was used as a measure of M. tuberculosis activity.The results demonstrate that increasing lipophilic character by itself does not correlate with increased potency against mycobacteria.Rather, intrinsic activity against Gram-negative and/or Gram-positive bacteria is the governing factor for corresponding activity against mycobacteria.

A series of novel arylfluoroquinolones has been prepared.These derivatives are characterized by having a fluorine atom at the 6-position, substituted amino groups at the 7-position, and substituted phenyl groups at the 1-position.Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies indicate that the in vitro antibacterial potency is greatest when the 1-substituent is either p-fluorophenyl or p-hydroxyphenyl and the 7-substituent is either 1-piperazinyl, 4-methyl-1-piperazinyl, or 3-amino-1-pyrrolidinyl.The electronic and spatial properties of the 1-substituent, as well as the steric bulk, play important roles in the antimicrobial potency in this class of antibacterials.As a result of this study, compounds 45 and 41 were found to possess excellent in vitro potency and in vivo efficacy.
