To check the antibacterial potential of two families of aza analogues of the quinolones, 1,4-dihydro-4-oxopyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazine-3-carboxylic acids and 1,4-dihydro-4-oxoimidazo[1,5-b]pyridazine-3-carboxylic acids, we have prepared a few derivatives in theses families using N-aminopyrrole and N-aminoimidazole derivatives as starting building blocks and the classical pathways of the quinolone series. The compounds showed no interesting antibacterial activity.     

Studies on antibacterial agents. III. Synthesis and antibacterial activities of substituted 1,4-dihydro-8-methyl-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acids

A series of substituted 4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acids having a methyl group at the 8-position was prepared and tested for their antibacterial activity. 7-(trans-3-Amino-4-methyl-1-pyrrolidinyl)-1-cyclopropyl-1,4-dihydro-6- fluoro-8-methyl-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (21) exhibited highly potent antibacterial activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

The 5-hydroxymethyl and the 5-formyl-1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-7-piperazinyl-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acids have been prepared via a 5-trimethylsilyl group and were tested in vitro as potential antibacterials.     

Synthesis and antibacterial activity of 1-(substituted-benzyl)-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acids and their 6,8-difluoro analogs

Alkylation of 6,7-difluoro-4-hydroxyquinoline-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester with substituted-benzyl chlorides gave 1-(substituted-benzyl)-6,7-difluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid ethyl esters. Their treatment with piperazine or N-methylpiperazine in pyridine yielded 1-(substituted-benzyl)-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-(l-piperazinyl)quinoline-3-carboxylic acid ethyl esters which were hydrolyzed with aqueous sodium hydroxide and then acidified with hydrochloric acid afforded the desired 1-(substituted-benzyl)-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-(1-iperazinyl)quinoline-3-carboxylic acids. The 6,8-difluoro analogs were prepared similarly using 6,7,8-trifluoro-4-hydroxyquinoline-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester as a starting material. Some of these quinolones demonstrated fairly good antibacterial activities. Among them, 6-fluoro-1-(4-fluorophenylmethyl)-1,4-dihydro-7-(1-iperazinyl)-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid ( 7d ) and 6,8-difluoro-1-(3-fluorophenylmethyl)-1,4-dihydro-7-(1-piperazinyl)-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid ( 8c ) are two of the best.     

Studies on quinoline derivatives and related compounds. IV. Synthesis of 4-substituted 1-alkyl-1,4-dihydro-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid

By the displacement reactions of 1-ethyl-4-chloro-3-carboethoxy-6,7-methylenedioxyquinolinium iodide ( 3a ), several 4-substituted derivatives including the 4-thioxo ( 1c ) and 4-amino derivatives ( 6 ) of oxolinic acid were prepared. The acid 1c and its N₁-substituted derivatives ( 18a-h ) were prepared alternatively by alkylation of ethyl 4-ethylmercapto-6,7-methylenedioxy-3-quinolinecarboxylate ( 15 ) followed by treatment with sodium hydrosulfide and hydrolysis.     

Synthesis and reactions of 7-substituted 1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acids as an antibacterial agent

1-Cyclopropyl- and 1-ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid derivatives having a sulfinyl or sulfonyl group at C-7 were synthesized from 2,6-dichloro-5-fluoronicotinic acid derivatives by the route involving the Dieckmann-type cyclization. The displacement reactions of these compounds with pyrrolidine and piperidine gave mainly the 7-(1-pyrrolidinyl)- and 7-(1-piperidinyl)-1,8-naphthyridine derivatives 24-27 , respectively. Enoxacin, a potent antibacterial agent, was also synthesized with the analogous route.     

Studies on quinoline derivatives and related compounds. 1. A new synthesis of 1-alkyl-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acids

A novel preparative method for 1-alkyl-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acids was developed. The key process is the cyclization of N-alkylanilinomethylenemalonales, which was effected successfully in the presence of polyphosphoric acid, polyphosphate ester, boron tri-fluoride or a mixture of acetic anhydride and sulfuric acid. With phosphorus oxychloride, N-alkylanilinomethylenemalonates yielded 1-alkyl-4-chloro-3-carbethoxyquinolinium salts which were hydrolyzed readily to ethyl 1-alkyl-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolineearboxylates or their acids. By means of this novel method several new 1-alkyl-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolineearboxylic acids were prepared.     

Synthesis of 7-thio-substituted 4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acids with antibacterial activity

A series of C-7 thio-substituted 1-cyclopropyl-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acids were prepared and tested for their antibacterial activity. Structure-activity relationships associated with the C-5 and C-7 substituents were discussed. Among the C-7 substituents including alkylthio, arylthio, heteroarylthio, and cyclic aminothio groups, a 2-aminoethylthio group was the best for enhancing in vitro antibacterial activity. The C-5 variants increased activity in the order OH less than F less than H less than NH2. Of compounds prepared in this work, 5-amino-7-(2-aminoethyl)thio-1-cyclopropyl-6,8-difluoro-1,4-dihydro-4 -oxo-quinoline-3-carboxylic acid (18) was the most active.     

Synthesis and antibacterial activity of some 7-substituted 1-ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acids: Ethers,secondary amines and sulfides as c-7 substituents

A series of 7-substituted 1-ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acids were prepared from 1-ethyl-6,7-difluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid 8 . Those derivatives reported contain acyclic and heterocyclic substituents linked to the quinolone C-7 position via O, NH or S. The in vitro antibacterial data of some of these derivatives against 4 Gram positive and 4 Gram negative organisms are reported.

Synthesis and properties of 1-aryl-1,4-dihydro-2,7-dimethyl-4-oxopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acids and their derivatives

Acetylation of 2-arylamino-5-carbethoxy-6-methylnicotinonitriles gave N-acetyl-2-arylamino-5-carbethoxy-6-methylnicotinonitriles, which, under the influence of hydrogen chloride, are cyclized to 1-aryl-1,4-dihydro-6-carbethoxy-2,7-dimethyl-4-oxopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines. The latter can be converted to the corresponding carboxylic and hydroxamic acids, as well as to acetylation products 1-aryl-2-acetonyl-1,4-dihydro-6-carbethoxy-7-methyl-4-oxopyrido [2,3-d]pyrimidines.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 535–539, April, 1992.

Studies on quinoline derivatives and related compounds. II. Synthesis of 5-substituted 1-ethyl-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid

The cyclization of m-substituted anilinomethylenemalonates ( 1 ) in the presence of polyphosphate ester and some other cyclizing agents gave mixtures of the isomeric ethyl 5- ( 2 ) and 7-substituted 4-hydroxy-3-quinolinecarboxylates ( 3 ), which led to mixtures of the corresponding quinolinecarboxylic acids ( 4 and 5 ) by hydrolysis. The proportions of 4 and 5 in the mixtures were determined on the basis of their nmr spectra. Novel 5-chloro- ( 8a ), 5-methyl- ( 8b ) and 5-nitro-1-ethyl-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acids were prepared and evaluated for antimicrobial activities. No significant activity, however, was noted.     

The synthesis of a series of 7-amino-1-cyclopropyl-8-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1,6-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acids as potential antibacterial agents

A series of 7-amino-1-cyclopropyl-1,4-dihydro-8-fluoro-4-oxo-1,6-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acids has been prepared and evaluated for antibacterial activity. These compounds were prepared by the displacement of the chloro substituent from 7-chloro-1-cyclopropyl-1,4-dihydro-8-fluoro-4-oxo-1,6-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid employing the requisite nitrogen nucleophile to produce the title compounds. The naphthyridine acid was synthesized in ten steps from ethyl 2,4-dihydroxy-3-nitro-5-pyridinecarboxylate. The key step in the sequence was a Schiemann reaction carried out using the hexafluorophosphate salt of the diazonium ion derived from ethyl 3-amino-2,4-dichloro-5-pyridinecarboxylate.
