Pyridonecarboxylic acids as antibacterial agents. 9. Synthesis and antibacterial activity of 1-substituted 6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-(4-pyridyl)-1,8-naphthyridine-3- carboxylic acids. 1987

Y Nishimura, and J Matsumoto

The title compounds (7a-e) with ethyl, 2-fluoroethyl, 2-hydroxyethyl, vinyl, or cyclopropyl groups, respectively, at C-1 were prepared by the method involving the Balz-Schiemann reaction of 2-(4-pyridyl)pyridine- and 7-(4-pyridyl)-1,8-naphthyridinediazonium tetrafluoroborates (15 and 27). The 1-ethyl, 1-(2-fluoroethyl), and 1-vinyl derivatives showed in vitro activities as potent as the corresponding 7-(1-piperazinyl) analogues against Staphylococcus aureus 209P JC-1 and Escherichia coli NIHJ JC-2 but were less active against Pseudomonas aeruginosa 12. Among the 7-(4-pyridyl) derivatives having the different C-1 substituent, 1-cyclopropyl derivative 7e was found to be the most active. In vivo efficacy of 7e was superior to that of enoxacin against experimental infections due to S. aureus 50774. Some aspects of structure-activity relationships associated with the C-1, C-6, and C-7 substituents were discussed.

D008297	Male		Males
D009287	Naphthyridines	A group of two-ring heterocyclic compounds consisting of a NAPHTHALENES double ring in which two carbon atoms, one per each ring, are replaced with nitrogens.
D011550	Pseudomonas aeruginosa	A species of gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacteria commonly isolated from clinical specimens (wound, burn, and urinary tract infections). It is also found widely distributed in soil and water. P. aeruginosa is a major agent of nosocomial infection.

D011725	Pyridines	Compounds with a six membered aromatic ring containing NITROGEN. The saturated version is PIPERIDINES.
D004926	Escherichia coli	A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc.	Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
