Discovery of Novel 7-[(1R,5S)-1-Amino-5-fluoro-3-azabicyclo[3.3.0]octan-3-yl]-6-fluoro-1-[(1R,2S)-2-fluorocyclopropane]-8-(methoxy or methyl)quinolones

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

A series of 8-methoxy or 8-methylquinolones bearing novel 3-aminooctahydrocyclopenta[c]pyrrole derivatives at the C-7 position was synthesized, and the pharmacological, physicochemical, and toxicological properties of the individual compounds were evaluated. Novel 8-methylquinolone 7, which includes a 3-amino-7-fluorooctahydrocyclopenta[c]pyrrole moiety at the C-7 position, showed potent antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and negative pathogens. Compound 7 also demonstrated favorable pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties and an acceptably safe toxicological profile. Consequently, compound 7 was selected as a clinical candidate.
