A series of 4-substituted 4-(1H-1, 2, 3-triazol-1-yl) piperidine building blocks was synthesized and introduced to the C7 position of the quinolone core, 7-chloro-1-cyclopropyl- 6-fluoro-4-oxo-1, 4-dihydro-1, 8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid, to afford the corresponding fluoroquinolones in 40–83% yield. The antibacterial activity of these new fluoroquinolones was evaluated using a standard broth microdilution technique. Among them, the ...
