KINOLINKARBOXYLSYRADERIVAT OCH SETT FOR FRAMSTELLNING DERAV

摘要

Certain novel quinoline carboxylic acid derivatives, being the compounds of the general formula: (wherein R2 is halogen; R3 is a 1- piperazinyl or 4-(C1-C5)alkyl- piperazinyl; and either R1 is (C1-C5) alkyl and R4 is halogen or (C1-C5) alkyl, or R1 and R4 are each alkylene and together form a 5 or 6 membered ring which may be substituted by a (C1-C5) alkyl radical) and the hydrates and salts thereof, possess good anti-bacterial activity against both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. They may be prepared by reacting a corresponding 7-halo quinoline carboxylic acid derivative with a compound of formula R3H. The 7-halo quinoline carboxylic acid derivatives employed as starting materials are novel compounds which may be prepared by processes analogous to known processes.
