Furthermore, it will be understood that phrases such as “a compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate or derivative thereof” are intended to encompass the compound of Formula I, a derivative of formula (I), a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound of formula (I), a solvate of formula (I), or any pharmaceutically acceptable combination of these. Thus by way of non-limiting example used here for illustrative purpose, “a compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof” may include a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of formula (I) that is further present as a solvate.
Since the compounds of formula (I) are intended for use in pharmaceutical compositions it will readily be understood that they are each provided in substantially pure form, for example at least 60% pure, more suitably at least 75% pure and preferably at least 85%, especially at least 98% pure (% are on a weight for weight basis).

Examples of suitable pharmaceutically acceptable in vivo hydrolysable ester-forming groups include those forming esters which break down readily in the human body to leave the parent acid or its salt.
Suitable groups of this type include those of part formulae (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v):




wherein Ra is hydrogen, (C1-6) alkyl, (C3-7 cycloalkyl, methyl, or phenyl, R6 is (C1-6) alkyl, (C1-6)alkoxy, phenyl, benzyl, (C3-7)cycloalkyl, (C3-7)cycloalkyloxy, (C1-6)alkyl(C3-7) cycloalkyl, 1-amino(C1-6)alkyl, or
1-(C1-6 alkyl)amino(C1-6) alkyl; or Ra and Rb together form a 1,2-phenylene group optionally substituted by one or two methoxy groups; Rc represents (C1-6)alkylene optionally substituted with a methyl or ethyl group and Rd and Re independently represent (C1-6) alkyl; Rf represents (C1-6) alkyl; Rg represents hydrogen or phenyl optionally substituted by up to three groups selected from halogen, (C1-6) alkyl, or (C1-6) alkoxy; Q is oxygen or NH; Rh is hydrogen or

Examples of suitable in vivo hydrolysable ester groups include, for example, acyloxy(C1-6)alkyl groups such as acetoxymethyl, pivaloyloxymethyl, acetoxyethyl, pivaloyloxyethyl, 1-(cyclohexylcarbonyloxy)prop-1-yl, and (1-aminoethyl)carbonyloxymethyl; (C1-6)alkoxycarbonyloxy(C1-6)alkyl groups, such as ethoxycarbonyloxymethyl, ethoxycarbonyloxyethyl and propoxycarbonyloxyethyl; di(C1-6)alkylamino(C1-6)alkyl especially di(C1-4)alkylamino(C1-4)alkyl groups such as dimethylaminomethyl, dimethylaminoethyl, diethylaminomethyl or diethylaminoethyl; 2-(C1-6)alkoxycarbonyl)-2-(C2-6)alkenyl groups such as 2-(isobutoxycarbonyl)pent-2-enyl and 2-(ethoxycarbonyl)but-2-enyl; lactone groups such as phthalidyl and dimethoxyphthalidyl.
A further suitable pharmaceutically acceptable in vivo hydrolysable ester-forming group is that of the formula:




wherein Rk is hydrogen, C1-6alkyl or phenyl.
R is preferably hydrogen.
Compounds of formula (I) may also be prepared as the corresponding N-oxides.
Certain of the compounds of formula (I) may exist in the form of optical isomers, e.g. diastereoisomers and mixtures of isomers in all ratios, e.g. racemic mixtures. The invention includes all such form, including pure isomeric forms. The different isomeric forms may be separated or resolved one from the other by conventional methods, or any given isomer may be obtained by conventional synthetic methods or by stereospecific or asymmetric syntheses.
One of skill in the readily appreciates that optimization for a given reaction may require some routine variation in reaction parameters such as reaction time, temperature, energy source, pressure, light, pressure, solvent or solvents used, co-reagents, catalysts, and the like.
Protective groups wherever found herein maybe designated by their specific formula or alternatively, maybe referred to generically by P or Pn (wherein n is an integer). It is to be appreciated that where generic descriptors are used, that such descriptors are at each occurrence independent from each other. Thus, a compound with more than one of the same generic descriptors (e.g. P) does not indicate that each P is the same protective group, they maybe the same or different, so long as the group is suitable to the chemistry being employed. Where protection or deprotection is generically referred to, one of ordinary skill in the art will understand this to mean that suitable conditions are employed that will allow for the removal of the protecting group to be removed while minimizing reaction at other positions of the molecule, unless otherwise indicated. Many protective groups and protective group strategies are known to those of skill in the art in maybe found in numerous references including, Greene, et al. “Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis” (Published by Wiley-Interscience), which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.
Leaving groups wherever found herein maybe designated by a specific chemical formula, or alternatively, maybe generically referred to as L or Ln (wherein n is an integer). It is to be appreciated that where a generic descriptor is used, that such descriptors are at each occurrence independent from each other. Leaving groups can be single atoms such as Cl, Br, or I, or maybe a group such as OSO2CH3, OC(═O)CH3, O(C═O)CF3, OSO2CF3, and the like. Leaving groups may be formed during the course of a reaction and thus a compound containing a leaving group may not always be an isolated material but rather as a reactive intermediate. By way of non-limiting example, a carboxylic acid maybe reacted with a coupling reagent such as DCC, CDI, EDCI, isobutyl chloroformate, etc, and the corresponding relative intermediate thus formed is further reacted with the nucleophilic coupling partner. In such cases, one of skill in the art appreciates that the activation step maybe performed before the introduction of the nucleophilic coupling partner, or in some cases, even in the presence of the nucleophilic coupling partner (depending upon the identity of the particular activating agent, carboxylic acid and nuclephilic coupling partner used). One skilled in the art readily ascertains that leaving groups generally refer to atoms or groups which can be eliminated, substituted or otherwise dissociate during the course of the reaction.
The antibacterial compounds according to the invention may be formulated for administration in any convenient way for use in human or veterinary medicine, by analogy with other antibacterials.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention include those in a form adapted for oral, topical or parenteral use and may be used for the treatment of bacterial infection in mammals including humans.

Tablets and capsules for oral administration may be in unit dose presentation form, and may contain conventional excipients such as binding agents, for example syrup, acacia, gelatin, sorbitol, tragacanth, or polyvinylpyrrolidone; fillers, for example lactose, sugar, maize-starch, calcium phosphate, sorbitol or glycine; tabletting lubricants, for example magnesium stearate, talc, polyethylene glycol or silica; disintegrants, for example potato starch; or acceptable wetting agents such as sodium lauryl sulphate. The tablets may be coated according to methods well known in normal pharmaceutical practice. Oral liquid preparations may be in the form of, for example, aqueous or oily suspensions, solutions, emulsions, syrups or elixirs, or may be presented as a dry product for reconstitution with water or other suitable vehicle before use. Such liquid preparations may contain conventional additives, such as suspending agents, for example sorbitol, methyl cellulose, glucose syrup, gelatin, hydroxyethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, aluminium stearate gel or hydrogenated edible fats, emulsifying agents, for example lecithin, sorbitan monooleate, or acacia; non-aqueous vehicles (which may include edible oils), for example almond oil, oily esters such as glycerine, propylene glycol, or ethyl alcohol; preservatives, for example methyl or propyl p-hydroxybenzoate or sorbic acid, and, if desired, conventional flavouring or colouring agents.
Suppositories will contain conventional suppository bases, e.g. cocoa-butter or other glyceride.
For parenteral administration, fluid unit dosage forms are prepared utilizing the compound and a sterile vehicle, water being preferred. The compound, depending on the vehicle and concentration used, can be either suspended or dissolved in the vehicle. In preparing solutions the compound can be dissolved in water for injection and filter sterilised before filling into a suitable vial or ampoule and sealing.
Advantageously, agents such as a local anaesthetic, preservative and buffering agents can be dissolved in the vehicle. To enhance the stability, the composition can be frozen after filling into the vial and the water removed under vacuum. The dry lyophilized powder is then sealed in the vial and an accompanying vial of water for injection may be supplied to reconstitute the liquid prior to use. Parenteral suspensions are prepared in substantially the same manner except that the compound is suspended in the vehicle instead of being dissolved and sterilization cannot be accomplished by filtration. The compound can be sterilised by exposure to ethylene oxide before suspending in the sterile vehicle. Advantageously, a surfactant or wetting agent is included in the composition to facilitate uniform distribution of the compound.
The compositions may contain from 0.1% by weight, preferably from 10-60% by weight, of the active material, depending on the method of administration. Where the compositions comprise dosage units, each unit will preferably contain from 50-500 mg of the active ingredient. The dosage as employed for adult human treatment will preferably range from 100 to 3000 mg per day, for instance 1500 mg per day depending on the route and frequency of administration. Such a dosage corresponds to 1.5 to 50 mg/kg per day. Suitably the dosage is from 5 to 20 mg/kg per day.
The compound of formula (I) may be the sole therapeutic agent in the compositions of the invention or a combination with other antibacterials. If the other antibacterial is a β-lactam then a β-lactamase inhibitor may also be employed.
Compounds of formula (I) are active against a wide range of organisms including both Gram-negative and Gram-positive organisms.
The compounds of this invention may also be used in the manufacture of medicaments useful in treating bacterial infections in humans or other mammals.

(b) 6-Methoxy-4-oxo-1,4-dihydro-[1,5]naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester
Dowtherm A (Fluka, 500 mL) was brought to boiling (250° C.) in a 2 L 3-neck flask fitted with a still-head and a reflux condenser. 2-[(6-Methoxypyridin-3-ylamino)methylene]malonic acid diethyl ester (100 g, 0.34 mole) was added portion-wise over 5 min. The solution was heated at reflux for an additional 15 min, allowing some solvent to distil over. The resulting solution was cooled to room temperature and diluted with hexane (750 mL). The mixture was cooled in ice for 1 h, then the brown solid was filtered off, washed with hexane, and dried under vacuum to afford the title compound (61.72 g, 73%).
(c) 4-Bromo-6-methoxy-[1,5]naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester

Phosphorus tribromide (30.0 mL, 316 mmol) was added dropwise over 15 min and stirring was continued for an additional 30 min. Water (1 L) was added, followed by saturated sodium carbonate solution to pH 7. The solid was collected by suction filtration, washed with water and dried under vacuum over phosphorus pentoxide to give the title compound (83.56 g, 90%).

EXAMPLE 20
Antimicrobial Activity Assay:
Whole-cell antimicrobial activity was determined by broth microdilution using the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) recommended procedure, Document M7-A6, “Methods for Dilution Susceptibility Tests for Bacteria that Grow Aerobically”. The compounds were tested in serial two-fold dilutions ranging from 0.016 to 16 mcg/mL.
Compounds were evaluated against a panel of Gram-positive organisms, including Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Enterococcus faecalis. 
In addition, compounds were evaluated against a panel of Gram-negative strains including Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis and Escherichia coli. 
The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined as the lowest concentration of compound that inhibited visible growth. A mirror reader was used to assist in determining the MIC endpoint.
One skilled in the art would consider any compound with a MIC of less than 20 mg/mL to be a potential lead compound. For instance, at least a substantial majority of the listed Examples (1 to 19), as identified in the present application, had a MIC ≦20 mg/ml against at least one of the organisms listed above.
