Abstract
A series of amino acid prodrugs of racemic and chiral 7-(3-amino-1-pyrrolidinyl)-6-fluoro-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acids, 1-cyclopropyl-6,8-difluoro-3-quinolinecarboxylic acids, 1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-3-quinolinecarboxylic acids, and 5-amino-1-cyclopropyl-6,8-difluoro-3-quinolinecarboxylic acids have been prepared and evaluated for comparative antibacterial activity. Compounds were prepared by acylation of the 3-amino group of the pyrrolidine with common amino acids using standard peptide chemistry. This series has been compared with the parent compounds for antibacterial activity in vitro and in vivo as well as for comparative solubility. The amino acid analogues were less active in vitro, but had equal or increased efficacy in vivo. Indeed, it was proven that these compounds, which were stable to acid and base under the reaction conditions for their preparation, were rapidly cleaved in serum to give the parent quinolones. The amino acid derivatives showed a 3-70 times improved solubility when compared to the parent compounds. The most active compound of the series was [S-(R*,R*)]-7-[3-[(2-amino-1-oxopropyl)-amino]-1-pyrrolidinyl]-1- cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid (PD 131112).

Abstract
On the basis of previous SAR findings and molecular modeling studies, a series of compounds were synthesized which possessed various sulfonyl moieties substituted at the 4-position of the C-3 phenyl ring substituent of the dihydropyran-2-one ring system. The sulfonyl substituents were added in an attempt to fill the additional S(3)' pocket and thereby produce increasingly potent inhibitors of the target enzyme. Racemic and enantiomerically resolved varieties of selected compounds were synthesized. All analogues in the study displayed decent binding affinity to HIV protease, and several compounds were shown to possess very good antiviral efficacy and safety margins. X-ray crystallographic structures confirmed that the sulfonamide and sulfonate moieties were filling the S(3)' pocket of the enzyme. However, the additional substituent did not provide improved enzymatic inhibitory or antiviral activity as compared to the resolved unsubstituted aniline. The addition of the sulfonyl moiety substitution does not appear to provide favorable pharamacokinectic parameters. Selected inhibitors were tested for antiviral activity in clinical isolates and exhibited similar antiviral activity against all of the HIV-1 strains tested as they did against the wild-type HIV-1. In addition, the inhibitors exhibited good antiviral efficacies against HIV-1 strains that displayed resistance to the currently marketed protease inhibitors.

Abstract
With the insight generated by the availability of X-ray crystal structures of various 5,6-dihydropyran-2-ones bound to HIV PR, inhibitors possessing various alkyl groups at the 6-position of 5,6-dihydropyran-2-one ring were synthesized. The inhibitors possessing a 6-alkyl group exhibited superior antiviral activities when compared to 6-phenyl analogues. Antiviral efficacies were further improved upon introduction of a polar group (hydroxyl or amino) on the 4-position of the phenethyl moiety as well as the polar group (hydroxymethyl) on the 3-(tert-butyl-5-methyl-phenylthio) moiety. The polar substitution is also advantageous for decreasing toxicity, providing inhibitors with higher therapeutic indices. The best inhibitor among this series, (S)-6-[2-(4-aminophenyl)-ethyl]-(3-(2-tert-butyl-5-methyl-phenylsulfa nyl)-4-hydroxy-6-isopropyl-5,6-dihydro-pyran-2-one (34S), exhibited an EC50 of 200 nM with a therapeutic index of > 1000. More importantly, these non-peptidic inhibitors, 16S and 34S, appear to offer little cross-resistance to the currently marketed peptidomimetic PR inhibitors. The selected inhibitors tested in vitro against mutant HIV PR showed a very small increase in binding affinities relative to wild-type HIV PR. Cmax and absolute bioavailability of 34S were higher and half-life and time above EC95 were longer compared to 16S. Thus 34S, also known as PD 178390, which displays good antiviral efficacy, promising pharmacokinetic characteristics and favorable activity against mutant enzymes and CYP3A4, has been chosen for further preclinical evaluation.

Abstract
Nucleocapsid protein (NCp7), which contains highly conserved retroviral zinc fingers, is essential in the early as well as the late phase of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) life cycle and constitutes a novel target for AIDS therapy. HIV-1 NCp7 is a basic 55 amino acid protein containing two C(X)2C(X)4H(X)4C motif zinc fingers flanked by basic amino acids on each side. 2,2'-dithiobisbenzamides have previously been reported to release zinc from these NCp7 zinc fingers and also to inhibit HIV replication. Specifically, 2,2'-dithiobisbenzamides derived from simple amino acids showed good antiviral activities. The benzisothiazolone 3, the cyclic derivative of 2, was selected for clinical trials as an agent for AIDS therapy. Herein we report the syntheses and antiviral activities, including therapeutic indices, of 2,2'-dithiobisbenzamides derived from alpha-, beta- and gamma-amino acids. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry was used to study the zinc-ejection activity of these compounds. Among the alpha-amino acid derived 2,2'-dithiobisbenzamides, analogues containing alkyl side chains were found to be antivirally active with good therapeutic indices. 2,2'-Dithiobisbenzamides, derived from beta- and gamma-amino acids, were found to possess better antiviral and therapeutic efficacies than the alpha-amino acid analogues. Thus compound 59 was found to possess an EC50 of 1.9 microM with a therapeutic index of > 50. Interestingly, 2,2'-dithiobisbenzamides derived from alpha-amino acids containing a protected acid function and polar side chains also exhibited very good antiviral activity.

Abstract
Substituted 2,2'-dithiobisbenzamides and 2-benzisothiazolones were prepared and shown to possess low microM activity with high therapeutic indices against HIV-1, HIV-2 and SIV in cell culture. The mechanism of antiviral action was determined to be directed toward the nucleocapsid protein (NCp7), which contains two zinc fingers and plays vital roles in the viral life cycle. The "active sulfides" of this study cause the extrusion of zinc from these zinc fingers. Structure-activity relationships of the 2,2'-dithiobisbenzamides reveal that the disulfide bond and the ortho benzamide functional groups are essential for activity, with the best compounds having a carboxylic acid, carboxamide, or sulfonamide substituent. The 2-benzisothiazolones are formed from the disulfides both chemically and in vivo and their SAR mimics that of the 2,2'-dithiobisbenzamides. The antiviral activity of the disulfides may require cyclization to the isothiazolones. Two agents, PD 159206 and PD 161374, which showed good antiviral activity, physical properties, and excellent pharmacokinetics in mice, were selected for advanced studies.

Abstract
As part of the National Cancer Institute's Drug Screening Program, a new class of antiretrovirals active against the human immunodeficiency virus HIV-1 has been identified, and the HIV-1 nucleocapsid protein NCp7 was proposed as the target of antiviral action. The 2,2'-dithiobis-[4'-(sulfamoyl)benzanilide] (3x) and the 2,2'-dithiobis(5-acetylamino)benzamide (10) represented the prototypic lead structures. A wide variety of 2,2'-dithiobisbenzamides were prepared and tested for anti-HIV-1 activity, cytotoxicity, and their ability to extrude zinc from the zinc fingers for NCp7. The structure-activity relationships demonstrated that the ability to extrude zinc from NCp7 resided in the 2,2'-dithiobisbenzamide core structure. The 3,3' and the 4,4' isomers were inactive. While many analogs based upon the core structure retained the zinc extrusion activity, the best overall anti-HIV-1 activity was only found in a narrow set of derivatives possessing carboxylic acid, carboxamide, or phenylsulfonamide functional groups. These functional groups were more important for reducing cytotoxicity than improving antiviral potency or activity vs NCp7. All of the compounds with antiviral activity also extruded zinc from NCp7. From this study several classes of low microM anti-HIV agents with simple chemical structures were identified as possible chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of AIDS.

Abstract
A series of quinolones with substitutions at the 8 position has been prepared as part of a study to examine the relationship between structural modifications at this position and activity against mycobacteria. The compounds were prepared by procedures described in the literature and were evaluated for their activities against Mycobacterium fortuitum and Mycobacterium smegmatis. The activities of the compounds against these two organisms were used as a measure of Mycobacterium tuberculosis activity. The results demonstrate that the contribution of the 8 position to antimycobacterial activity was dependent on the substituent at N-1 and was in the order (i) COMe approximately CBr > CCI > CH approximately CF approximately COEt > N > CCF3 when N-1 was cyclopropyl; (ii) N approximately CH > CF > COMe when N-1 was 2,4-difluorophenyl; (iii) N > or = CH when N-1 was tert-butyl; and (iv) N > CH when N-1 was ethyl. In general, derivatives with piperazine substitutions at C-7 were slightly less active against mycobacteria than the analogs with pyrrolidine substitutions, regardless of the pattern of substitution at the 8 position. Several of the best compounds were evaluated for their potential side effects as well as their activities against Mycobacterium aurum, Mycobacterium avium-M. intracellulare, and M. tuberculosis. These agents exhibited biological profiles similar to or better than those of the positive controls ciprofloxacin and sparfloxacin.

Abstract
Several small, achiral nonpeptide inhibitors of HIV-1 protease with low micromolar activity were identified by mass screening of the Parke-Davis compound library. Two of the compounds, structurally similar, were both found to be competitive and reversible inhibitors [compound 1, 4-hydroxy-3-(3-phenoxypropyl)-1-benzopyran-2-one: Ki = 1.0 microM; compound 2, 4-hydroxy-6-phenyl-3-(phenylthio)-pyran-2-one: Ki = 1.1 microM]. These inhibitors were chosen as initial leads for optimization of in vitro inhibitory activity based on molecular modeling and X-ray crystallographic structural data. While improvements in inhibitory potency were small with analogues of compound 1, important X-ray crystallographic structural information of the enzyme-inhibitor complex was gained. When bound, 1 was found to displace H2O301 in the active site while hydrogen bonding to the catalytic Asps and Ile50 and Ile150. The pyranone group of compound 2 was found to bind at the active site in the same manner, with the 6-phenyl and the 3-phenylthio occupying P1 and P1', respectively. The structural information was used to develop design strategies to reach three or four of the internal pockets, P2-P2'. This work led to analogues of diverse structure with high potency (IC50 < 10 nM) that contain either one or no chiral centers and remain nonpeptide. The highly potent compounds possess less anti-HIV activity in cellular assays than expected, and current optimization now focuses on increasing cellular activity. The value of the HIV-1 protease inhibitors described is their potential as better pharmacological agents with a different pattern of viral resistance development, relative to the peptide inhibitors in human clinical trials.

Abstract
A systematic study of tethering various groups on 6-phenyl ring of 4-hydroxy-6-phenyl-3-[(2-isopropylphenyl)thio]pyran-2-one was performed to increase the binding affinity with HIV protease. This tethering approach was aimed to fill S3 pocket of the enzyme. Thus, tethering hydrophilic groups resulted in more potent inhibitors. Similarly, various aromatic hydrophobic rings as well as heterocyclic rings were explored as tethering substituents to alter the physical properties as well as to enhance the binding affinity with HIV protease. Inhibitor 24, 4-hydroxy-3-[(2-isopropylphenyl)thio]-6-[4-(3-pyridinylmethoxy+ ++ ) phenyl]-2H-pyran-2-one, was evaluated as a prototypic lead structure to study various physical as well as pharmacological properties of this class of HIV protease inhibitors.

Abstract
From an initial mass screening lead, (IC50: 3 microM) and information derived from the X-ray crystallographic structure of a related analog, complexed with HIV protease (PR), the design of more potent inhibitors has been advanced. Various structure-guided approaches to fill P1' and P2' pockets using this pyran-2-one template, molecular modeling and X-ray crystallographic studies led to potent compounds. Of particular significance to the design of this series of inhibitors is the displacement of key structural waters. The binding modes of a series of pyran-2-one analogs and comparison of binding modes with different pyran-2-ones, are highlighted. Noteworthy was the discovery of a highly potent (IC50: 0.007 microM) pyran-2-one derivative, containing novel P1' and P2' functionalization and possessing no chiral centers and having low molecular weight. Pyran-2-ones possessing appended groups to reach to the S3 pocket of the enzyme via tethering on the 6-phenyl ring of pyran-2-one ring is also discussed.

Abstract
The re-emergence of tuberculosis infections which are resistant to conventional drug therapy has demonstrated the need for alternative chemotherapy against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. As part of a study to optimize the quinolone antibacterials against M. tuberculosis, we have prepared a series of N-1- and C-7-substituted quinolones to examine specific structure-activity relationships between modifications of the quinolone at these two positions and activity against mycobacteria. The compounds, synthesized by literature procedures, were evaluated for activity against Mycobacterium fortuitum and Mycobacterium smegmatis as well as Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. The activity of the compounds against M. fortuitum was used as a barometer of M. tuberculosis activity. The results demonstrate that (i) the activity against mycobacteria was related more to antibacterial activity than to changes in the lipophilicity of the compounds, (ii) the antimycobacterial activity imparted by the N-1 substituent was in the order tert-butyl > or = cyclopropyl > 2,4-difluorophenyl > ethyl approximately cyclobutyl > isopropyl, and (iii) substitution with either piperazine or pyrrolidine heterocycles at C-7 afforded similar activity against mycobacteria.

A series of 1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-8-alkoxy (8-methyoxy and 8-ethoxy)-quionoline-3-carboxylic acids and 1-cyclopropyl-5-amino-6-fluoro-8-alkoxyquinoline-3-carboxylic acids has been prepared and evaluated for antibacterial activity. In addition, they were also compared to quinolones with classic substitution at C8 (H, F, Cl) and the naphthyridine nucleus in a phototoxicity and mammalian cell cytotoxicity assay. The series of 8-methoxyquinolones had antibacterial activity against Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and anaerobic bacteria equivalent to the most active 8-substituted compounds (8-F and 8-Cl). There was also a concomitant reduction in several of the potential side effects (i.e., phototoxicity and clonogenicity) compared to the most active quinolones with classic substitution at C-8. The 8-ethoxy derivatives had an even better safety profile but were significantly less active (2-3 dilutions) in the antibacterial assay.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
Using molecular modeling and the information derived from the X-ray crystal structure of HIV-1 protease (HIV PR) complexed with the pyran-2-one 1, a series of (4-hydroxy-6-phenyl-2-oxo-2H-pyran-3-yl)thiomethanes was designed and analyzed as novel, nonpeptidic inhibitors of HIV PR. Structure-activity studies led to the discovery of inhibitor 19 having (RS)-1-(cyclopentylthio)-3-methylbutyl functionalization at the C-3 position, which exhibited a Kc of 33 nM. A X-ray crystallographic structure of 19 bound to HIV PR showed that structural water-301 (inhibitor-flap-bridging water) was displaced by the inhibitor. Interestingly, the enol moiety of the pyran-2-one formed a hydrogen bond directly with Asp125 and with Asp25 via a bridging water molecule, thus illustrating a unique mode of active site binding by an HIV PR inhibitor. The pendant cyclopentyl and isobutyl groups of 19 occupied the S1' and S2' binding sites, respectively, whereas the 6-phenyl group occupied a region in between the S1 and S3 pockets of HIV PR. Selected compounds were tested for antiviral activity on H9 cells infected with HIV-1IIIb. A correlation between enzymatic activity and antiviral activity was not found in this series. The best antiviral compound in this series, 18, contained (RS)-3-[cyclopentyl(cyclopentylthio)methyl] functionalization at the C-3 position of the pyran-2-one ring and exhibited a CIC50 of 14 microM and TC50 of 70 microM. These studies demonstrate that potent enzyme inhibition can be achieved by inhibitors that span only three subsites.

Abstract
HIV-1 protease has been identified as a significant target enzyme in AIDS research. While numerous peptide-derived inhibitors have been described, the identification of a nonpeptide inhibitor remains an important goal. Using an HIV-1 protease mass screening technique, 4-hydroxy-3-(3-phenoxypropyl)-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one (1) was identified as a nonpeptide competitive inhibitor of the enzyme. Employing a Monte Carlo-based docking procedure, the coumarin was docked in the active site of the enzyme, revealing a binding mode that was later confirmed by the X-ray crystal analysis. Several analogs were prepared to test the binding interactions and improve the overall binding affinity. The most active compound in the study was 4,7-dihydroxy-3-[4-(2-methoxyphenyl)butyl]-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one (31).

Abstract
The fluoroquinolones represent a major class of antibacterials with great therapeutic potential. Over the years, several structure-activity and side-effect relationships have been developed, covering thousands of analogues, in an effort to improve overall antimicrobial efficacy while reducing undesirable side-effects. In this review, the various structural features of the quinolones which govern antibacterial efficacy and influence the side-effect profile are delineated and summarized at the molecular level. Those features which most remarkably enhance antimicrobial effectiveness are: a halogen (F or Cl) at the 8-position which improves oral absorption and activity against anaerobes; an alkylated pyrrolidine or piperazine at C7 which increases serum half-life and potency vs Gram-positive bacteria; and a cyclopropyl group at N1 and an amino substituent at C5, both of which improve overall potency. Some side-effects of the quinolones are class effects, and cannot be modulated by molecular variation. These include gastrointestinal irritation and arthropathy. Several other potential side-effects are directly influenced by structural modification. For example, CNS effects and drug interactions with theophylline and NSAIDs are strongly influenced by the C7 substituent with simple pyrrolidines and piperazines the worst actors. Increasing steric bulk through alkylation ameliorates these effects. Phototoxicity is determined by the nature of the 8-position substituent with halogen causing the greatest photo reaction while hydrogen and methoxy show little light induced toxicity. Genetic toxicity is controlled in additive fashion by the choice of groups at the 1, 7 and 8 positions. From the analysis, those groups which mutually improve efficacy while reducing side-effects are identified. In addition, preclinical models for determining potential side-effects are discussed.

Abstract
A series of the R and S isomers of 7-[3-(1-amino-1-methylethyl)-1-pyrrolidinyl]-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline- and 1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acids was prepared to determine the effect on potency of the two methyl groups adjacent to the distal nitrogen in the pyrrolidinyl moiety. The antibacterial efficacy of these dimethylated derivatives was compared to the relevant 7-[3-(aminomethyl)-1-pyrrolidinyl] parent compounds and, to a lesser extent, the 7-[3-(1-aminoethyl)-1-pyrrolidinyl] analogues. The activity of the title and reference compounds was assayed in vitro using an array of Gram-negative and Gram-positive organisms and in vivo using a mouse infection model. Selected derivatives were then screened for potential side effects in a phototoxicity mouse model and an in vitro mammalian cell cytotoxicity protocol. The results showed that the R isomer displayed a 2-20-fold advantage in activity in vitro and a 2-15-fold advantage in vivo over the S isomer. Although equipotent to the 7-[3-(aminomethyl)-1-pyrrolidinyl] parent compounds in vitro, the R isomers of the 7-[3-(1-amino-1-methylethyl)-1-pyrrolidinyl] analogues showed a dramatic increase in in vivo potency, especially via the oral route of administration. These same R isomers also appeared to possess a reduced risk of phototoxicity and cytotoxicity. This combination of superior in vivo performance with a low degree of phototoxicity and mammalian cell cytotoxicity recommends these agents for further study. Of these agents, naphthyridine 16-R represents the optimal blend of potency and safety.

Abstract
A series of 6-fluoroquinolone- and 6-fluoro-1,8-naphthyridone-3-carboxylic acids possessing a [3-amino (or aminomethyl)-4-aryl (or cyclopropyl)-1-pyrrolidinyl] group at C-7 were synthesized and evaluated for their antimicrobial activity. The effect of the relative stereochemistry of the pyrrolidinyl substituents, as well as the presence of different functional groups on the 4-aryl (or cyclopropyl) moiety, was investigated in conjunction with their attachment to several quinolone or naphthyridone nuclei. In general, the incorporation of substituents on the aryl (or cyclopropyl) ring decreased in vitro and in vivo activity, regardless of the nature and relative position of the substituent. Bulky, lipophilic groups and substitution at the 2- and 3-position of the aromatic ring were particularly deleterious. Within a limited subset of derivatives, cis substitution of the pyrrolidine ring was less favorable than trans substitution. The majority of these effects were more apparent against the Enterobacteriaceae than against any other Gram-negative or Gram-positive organism and could be associated with negative interactions related to permeability or transport factors.

Abstract
PD 138312 and PD 140248 are new quinolones with high in vitro activities against a wide spectrum of bacterial species, notably including gram-positive isolates. The respective MICs (in micrograms per milliliter) of PD 138312 and PD 140248 capable of inhibiting > or = 90% of the strains were < or = 0.06 and < or = 0.06 for oxacillin-susceptible and -resistant staphylococci, streptococci (including Streptococcus pyogenes, S. agalactiae, S. pneumoniae, and viridans group streptococci), Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae; 0.125 and 0.03 for Legionella pneumophila; 0.25 and 0.125 for Listeria monocytogenes; 0.25 and 0.25 for Enterococcus faecalis; 0.5 and 0.06 for anaerobic gram-positive cocci; 0.5 and 0.25 for Acinetobacter spp.; 0.5 and 0.5 for members of the family Enterobacteriaceae (excluding Serratia marcescens); 2 and 0.5 for Bacteroides fragilis; 2 and 2 for Serratia marcescens and ciprofloxacin-resistant staphylococci; and 8 and 4 for Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Abstract
A series of stereochemically pure 7-[3-(1-aminoethyl)-1-pyrrolidinyl]-1, 4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline and 1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acids, with varied substituents at the 1-, 5-, and 8-positions, were synthesized to study the effects of the 7-[3-(1-aminoethyl)-1- pyrrolidinyl] moiety on potency and in vivo efficacy relative to the known 7-[3-(aminomethyl)-1- pyrrolidinyl] derivatives. The antibacterial efficacies of the target compounds and their relevant reference agents were determined in vitro using an assortment of Gram-negative and Gram-positive organisms and in vivo using Escherichia coli and Streptococcus pyogenes mouse infection models. The effects of the 7-[3-(1-aminoethyl)-1-pyrrolidinyl] moiety were also examined at the level of the target enzyme by employing a DNA-gyrase supercoiling inhibition assay. Selected compounds were further evaluated for potential phototoxic and clastogenic liabilities using a phototoxicity mouse model and an in vitro mammalian cell cytotoxicity assay. It was found that the differences in in vitro antibacterial activity between the stereoisomers were significantly greater than previously reported for other optically pure 3-substituted pyrrolidinyl side chains. Relative to their 7-[3-(aminomethyl)-1-pyrrolidinyl] analogs, the (3R,1S)-3-(1-aminoethyl)pyrrolidines generally conferred a 2-4-fold increase in Gram-positive in vitro activity and an average of 10-fold improvement in oral efficacy. The level of phototoxicity and cytotoxicity of the product quinolones was ultimately determined by the combined influence of the 7-[3-(1-aminoethyl)-1-pyrrolidinyl] side chains and the other quinolone substituents. From this study, several compounds were identified with outstanding antibacterial activity and low degrees of phototoxicity and mammalian cell cytotoxicity. One such agent, 34F-R,S (PD 140248), showed the best overall blend of safety and efficacy.

Abstract
Fluoroquinolones are potent inhibitors of bacterial topoisomerase II (DNA gyrase). They can also inhibit eukaryotic topoisomerases, which could possibly lead to clastogenicity and/or cellular toxicity. Recent studies have demonstrated a correlation between mammalian cell cytotoxicity of the fluoroquinolones and the potential of these compounds to induce micronuclei, a genetic toxicity endpoint. In an effort to identify potent nontoxic quinolone antibacterials, we have examined the structural features of the fluoroquinolones associated with mammalian cell cytotoxicity. An investigation of a wide variety of substituents at the 1, 5, 7, and 8 positions of a quinolone nucleus was conducted. The results indicate that no one position has a controlling effect on the observed cytotoxicity. Instead, a combination of the various substituents contributes to the effects seen. Certain trends were apparent, such as the fact that compounds with pyrrolidines at the R-7 position were more cytotoxic than those with piperazines, and halogens at R-8 (X-position) were associated with more cytotoxicity relative to hydrogen. A general trend also existed between the cytotoxicity of the compounds and their Gram-positive antibacterial activity. A detailed comparison between the various groups and positional variations as they controlled the cytotoxicity and antibacterial activity is presented.

Abstract
A series of 8-(trifluoromethyl)-substituted quinolones has been prepared and evaluated for in vitro and in vivo antibacterial activity, and phototolerance in a mouse phototolerance assay. These analogues were compared to the corresponding series of 6,8-difluoro- and 6-fluoro-8H-quinolones (ciprofloxacin type). Although their in vitro antibacterial activities are less than the 6,8-difluoro analogues, the 8-(trifluoromethyl)quinolones are generally equivalent to their 8H analogues. In vivo, they are comparable to the 6,8-difluoro series and show up to 10-fold improvement in efficacy when compared to their ciprofloxacin counterparts vs Streptococcus pyogenes and Streptococcus pneumonia. In the phototolerance model, the 8-(trifluoromethyl)quinolones are comparable to the 8H-quinolones. Both of these series display much higher no effect doses (greater tolerance) than the corresponding 6,8-difluoroquinolones.

Abstract
A series of 5-amino- and 5-hydroxyquinolone antibacterials substituted at C7 with a select group of common piperazinyl and 3-aminopyrrolidinyl side chains was prepared. These 5-substituted derivatives were compared to the analogous 5-hydrogen compounds for antiinfective activity by using DNA gyrase inhibition, minimum inhibitory concentrations against a variety of bacteria, and in vivo efficacy in the mouse infection model. The influence on the structure-activity relationships of varied substituents at C8 (H, F, Cl) and N1 (ethyl, cyclopropyl, difluorophenyl) was also studied. The results showed that several of the structure-activity conclusions regarding side-chain bulk at C7, the effect of halogen at C8, and the effect of the C5-amino group were greatly influenced by the choice of the N1-substituent. Several outstanding broad spectrum quinolones were identified in this work. In particular, the spectrum and potency of the 7-piperazinyl quinolones could be greatly enhanced by the judicious choice of C5-, C8-, and N1-substituents.

Abstract
A series of 5-alkyl-1,7,8-trisubstituted-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3- quinolinecarboxylic acids was prepared and evaluated for in vitro and in vivo antibacterial activity. When compared to the 5-hydrogen analogues, the presence of the 5-methyl group enhanced in vitro potency for those compounds containing a cyclopropyl moiety at N1 but decreased potency for those containing an ethyl group at N1. Replacing the 5-methyl with a 5-ethyl significantly reduced the efficacy. In general, the 5-methyl and 5-hydrogen analogues were equipotent in vivo. Several of the 5-methyl-1-cyclopropylquinolones displayed excellent in vitro and in vivo activity, warranting further development.

Abstract
PD 131628 is a new aminopyrrolidine-substituted fluorocyclopropyl naphthyridine quinolone which possesses high in vitro activity against a wide spectrum of bacterial species. The MICs for greater than or equal to 90% of strains were 0.125 to 0.25 microgram/ml for staphylococci, Streptococcus pyogenes, and S. pneumoniae; 0.5 micrograms/ml for S. agalactiae and Enterococcus faecalis; 0.125 micrograms/ml for members of the family Enterobacteriaceae and Acinetobacter spp.; 0.5 micrograms/ml for Pseudomonas aeruginosa; and less than or equal to 0.03 micrograms/ml for Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella (Branhamella) catarrhalis, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae. In these in vitro comparisons with ciprofloxacin, PD 131628 is more active against gram-positive organisms, approximately equivalent against gram-negative organisms, and, like most other quinolones, relatively inactive against gram-negative anaerobes. In most instances, the in vitro potency of PD 131628 exceeded those of widely used compounds: ciprofloxacin, imipenem, ampicillin, penicillin G, oxacillin, cefazolin, ceftazidime, cefoxitin, cefsulodin, aztreonam, piperacillin, amikacin, spectinomycin, doxycycline, erythromycin, metronidazole, and vancomycin.

Abstract
A series of 18 1-substituted 7-[3-[(ethylamino)methyl]-1- pyrrolidinyl]-6,8-difluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinoline- carboxylic acids (N1 analogues of CI-934) were synthesized and evaluated for antibacterial activity and DNA-gyrase inhibition. Correlations between the inhibition of DNA gyrase and antibacterial potency were established. A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) was derived by using the antibacterial potency for each of 11 strains of bacteria and the Gram-negative mean. The equations indicated that antibacterial potency was strongly dependent on STERIMOL length and width and the level of unsaturation of the N1 substituent. Some strains also showed a dependence on the presence of heteroatoms (O, N, S) in the N1 group. No significant correlations between gyrase inhibition and combinations of these parameters were found. These QSAR results are discussed in conjunction with the conformational analyses from molecular modeling studies. The substituent that most enhanced the activity of the quinolone in all regards was the cyclopropyl group. This analogue, 1-cyclopropyl-7-[3-[(ethylamino)-methyl]-1-pyrrolidinyl]-6, 8-difluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid (PD 117558), demonstrated outstanding broad spectrum activity both in vitro and in vivo when compared to relevant standards.

Abstract
A series of 60 newly synthesized and known quinolone antibacterials, including quinoline- and 1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acids, pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acids, and some monocyclic 4-pyridone-3-carboxylic acids, were tested and compared in a newly established, easy to perform, DNA gyrase assay. The results were correlated with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) against a variety of organisms. Among the known quinolones were 14 clinically significant drugs (oxolinic acid, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, enoxacin, etc.) which were used as standards and compared side-by-side. The study focused on the changes in DNA gyrase inhibition brought about by certain features of the molecules, namely, the C6-fluorine or the nature of the C7 substituent. The intrinsic gyrase inhibition of the fused parent rings, quinoline vs. naphthyridine vs. pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine, was also explored. In all cases, loss of enzyme inhibition produced poor MICs, but some compounds with good DNA gyrase inhibition did not correspondingly inhibit bacterial growth. Possible explanations for this phenomena and the benefits of a DNA gyrase-MIC strategy for developing future structure-activity relationships are discussed.

Abstract
CI-934 is a totally synthetic difluorinated quinolinecarboxylic acid with an ethyl-amino-methyl pyrrolidine side chain, which has broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, including particular potency directed against streptococci and staphylococci. The CI-934 MIC (micrograms per milliliter) for 90% of the strains tested was 0.4 (range, 0.2 to 0.8) for a group of streptococci (pneumococci, viridans streptococci, Streptococcus faecalis, and Lancefield groups A, B, and C), 0.2 (0.05 to 0.2) for staphylococci (including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), 0.025 (less than or equal to 0.003 to 0.025) for Haemophilus influenzae and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, 1.6 (0.1 to 25) for Enterobacteriaceae, 25 (3.1 to 25) for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and 1.6 (0.05 to 3.1) for non-Bacteroides anaerobe species. CI-934 was equally active in vitro against multi-drug-resistant and -sensitive isolates, and cross-resistance was not apparent. Potency increased with alkalinity and was somewhat lower in urine. CI-934 was bactericidal. Inhibitory activity was generally unaffected by anaerobiosis, light, changes in inoculum size or cation concentration, or addition of human serum or sodium cholate.
