Synthesis and antibacterial activity of pyridonecarboxylic acid derivatives containing 2-methyl-5-nitroimidazol / 药学学报

<p><b>AIM</b>To study the synthesis and antibacterial activity of pyridonecarboxylic acid derivatives containing 2-methyl-5-nitroimidazol.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Pyridonecarboxylic acid derivatives containing 2-methyl-5-nitroimidazol were synthesized primarily from 2-methyl-5-nitroimidazol, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, enoxacin via nucleophilic substitution and esterification. The antibacterial activity of the nine target compounds were tested.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Nine new compounds were synthesized (IIa-c and IIIa-f). The structure of the title compounds were identified by 1HNMR, MS as well as elementary analysis.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Compounds IIa, IIb and IIc showed antibacterial activity, and were worth further studying.</p>
