Fluoroquinolones represent a major class of antibacterial agents with great therapeutic potential. In this study, we designed m-aminophenyl groups as novel N-1 substituents of naphthyridones and quinolones. Among newly synthesized compounds, 7-(3-aminoazetidin- 1-yl)-1-(5-amino-2, 4-difluorophenyl)-8-chloro-6-fluoro-4-oxo-1, 4-dihydroquinoline-3- carboxylic acid (4) has extremely potent antibacterial activities against Gram (+) as well as ...
