Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to novel 6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-substituted piperazinylquinoline-3-carboxylic acids which have an excellent antibacterial effect, its pharmacologically-acceptable salts, and process for preparing the same.
More particularly, the present invention relates to novel 6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-substituted piperazinylquinoline-3-carboxylic acids represented by the general formula (I), ##STR2## wherein R.sub.1 is a lower alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, a vinyl group, a 2-fluoroethyl group, or a 2-hydroxyethyl group; R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 each is a hydrogen, or a lower alkyl group having each 1 to 4 carbon atoms; R.sub.5 is a lower alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms and R.sub.6 is a hydrogen, or a fluorine atom, its pharmacologically acceptable salt and process for preparing the same.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
So far, as antibacterial medicines, those of pyridone carboxylic acids have been widely used. For example, nalidixic acid, piromidic acid, pipemidic acid, and cinoxacine have been marketed for the clinical treatment of urinary tract infection, intestinal infection and cholangia infection. The most effective and widely used antibacterial among these is pipemidic acid (The Merck Index, 10th Edition, 7332) represented by the following formula (II): ##STR3##
Recently, norfloxacin (The Merck Index, 10th Edition, 6541) was synthesized to improve the antibacterial effect of pipemidic acid and to expand its antibacterial spectrum. It has the chemical formula (III) as shown below and used for the clinical treatment of infectious impetigo, phlegmon, subcutaneous abscess, or tonsillitis. ##STR4##
However, such marketed antibacterials were unsatisfactory as they had to be applied in large quantities so that their continuous and long-term administration could cause adverse side-effects, for example, gastrointestinal function disorder.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present inventors studied therefore for finding out a more effective antibacterial, and discovered that the compounds represented by the above-mentioned general formula (I) are more effective as an antibacterial when compared with pipemidic acid (II) and norfloxacin (III) and excellent in their rate of urinary excretion as well as in their low toxicity.
The present invention is based on this finding.

The piperazines having the general formula (V) are also a known substance and disclosed in, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 2,780,625 and South Africa Pat. No. 6,807,552.
In a second method, the inventive compound represented by the general formula (I) is prepared by hydrolyzing a 6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-substituted piperazinylquinoline-3-carboxylic acid ester derivative represented by the following general formula (VI), ##STR7## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 each has the same meaning as described above and R.sub.7 is s lower alkyl group having 1 through 4 carbon atoms.
The hydrolysis is carried out according to the known method using an acid such as hydrochloric acid, or sulfuric acid; or an alkali such as sodium hydroxide, or potassium hydroxide.
These acids or alkalis can be used for the hydrolysis in the form of aqueous solutions, ethanol or methanol solutions, or solutions of aqueous organic solvents.

TEST COMPOUNDS ##STR10##
1. ANTIBACTERIAL SPECTRUM
Experiment
Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) were determined by the twofold agar dilution method (Chemotherapy, 29(1), 76(1981)). Overnight cultures in Mueller-Hinton broth were suspended by buffered saline gelatine. One loopful of the bacterial suspension (10.sup.6 or 10.sup.8 colony-forming units/ml) was incubated onto the test compound-containing plates. The plates were incubated for 18 hrs. at 37.degree. C. The MIC was the lowest concentration of the drug that inhibited visible growth. The results are shown in Table 1.
2. URINARY EXCRETION
Experiment
Male rats of SD strain, weighing 180-210 g, were used 8 animals at a group. Test compounds suspended in 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose were administered per os to 24 hr-fasted rats at dose of 20 mg/Kg. Urine was pooled from 0 to 6 hrs. and 6 to 24 hrs, and urinary excretion was measured by bioassay using Escherichia coli NIHJ-JC-2. The results are shown in Table 2.
Bioassay
The assay method employed was the cup-plate method using
Escherichia coli NIHJ-JC-2. Urine was appropriately diluted with 1/15M phosphate buffer pH7.0, before assay if necessary. Standard calibration lines were made in 1/15M phosphate buffer pH7.0.
3. ACUTE TOXICITY
Experiment
Male mice of ddY strain, 4 weeks old, were used with 10 animals at a group. Test compounds suspended in 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose were administered per os (p.o.) in mice. In the case of intraveneous (i.v.) administration, test compounds were solved in 0.1N-HCl solution and neutralized with 0.1N-NaOH solution. LD.sub.50 was determined by the Probit method from dead animals at the end of 10 days. The results are shown in Table 3.
It is clearly seen from the results above that the compounds of this invention exhibit a potent effect on urinary excretion and excellent lower toxicity as compared to the reference drug.
Further, the antibacterial spectrum shows that the compounds of the invention exhibit approximately equal to the reference drug.
Therefore, it is clear that the compounds of the invention are very useful as a medicine for clinical usage because of the superior pharmaceutical effects, as excellent absorption, and of the lower toxity.
Thus, the present compound is much safer than traditionally marketed medicine and considered to be highly useful as a clinical medicine.
Necessary amount for treatment: Normally, a total of 150-1000 mg is to be orally administered by dividing the amount into 2-4 times per day per adult.
