Abstract

Figure 1. Clinicially significant quinolone type antibacterial agents. a substituted 3- (aminomethy1) pyrrolidine substituent, at C-7.'" This slight structural modification greatly increased the Gram-positive potency, finally establishing the quinolones as a truly broad- spectrum class of antibacterial agents. In an attempt to enhance oral activity, a fluorine was introduced at C-8, which resulted in CI-934 (15), the most potent Gram-positive quinolone ...
