According to EP-A 550 903 the substituent in 7-position is a residue of the formula wherein R 3 is C 2 -C 5 oxoalkyl, CH 2 -CO-C 6 H 5 , CH 2 CH 2 -CO-CH 3 , CH 2 CH 2 CO 2 R', -CH=CH-CO 2 R' or CH 2 CH 2 -CN, wherein R' represents hydrogen or C 1 -C 3 alkyl, R 4 represents H, C 1 -C 3 alkyl, C 2 -C 5 oxalkyl, CH 2 -CO-C 6 H 5 , CH 2 CH 2 CO 2 R', -CH=CH-CO 2 R' or CH 2 CH 2 -CN or 5-methyl-2-oxo-1,3-dioxo-4-yl-methyl, wherein R' represents hydrogen or C 1 -C 3 alkyl. According to EP 0 424 850 the substituent in 7-position has the formula wherein R 3 represents hydrogen, lower alkyl or formyl, m is an integer of 1 to 3, and n is 1 or 2. Further, quinolone derivatives having a fluorine atom introduced into the 2-position of the cyclopropyl group in a cis-configuration with respect to the fused pyridonecarboxylic acid moiety also exhibit potent antimicrobial activity. These quinolone derivatives are considered to have not only high antimicrobial activity but high safety (see EP-A 0 191 185, EP-A 0 341 493, WO 92/21659 and Atarashi et al., J. Med. Chem. 1993, 36, 3444-3448). Besides antimicrobial activity, in vivo behavior of quinolone derivatives is of importance for safety and efficacy. In vivo behavior of quinolone derivatives, such as oral absorbability, distribution, and excretion, is greatly related to lipophilicity and water-solubility of quinolone molecules. The antimicrobial activity of quinolone derivatives is largely influenced by the structure of a cyclic amine substituent on the 7-position (or a position corresponding to the 7-position) of the quinoline skeleton. However, quinolone compounds with a cyclic amine substituent which have been experimentally verified to exhibit potent antimicrobial activity often fail to clinically show their superiority. The present inventors considered that one of the reasons of such a phenomenon consists in lipophilicity of quinolone molecules and found that quinolone derivatives having a halogenocyclopropyl group, especially a fluorocyclopropyl group, at the 1-position (or a position corresponding to the 1-position) thereof have well-balanced lipophilicity and thereby exhibit high safety and high efficacy as well as excellent antimicrobial activity. On the other hand, quinolone derivatives having a cis-halogenocyclopropyl group at the 1-position possess excellent properties in terms of antimicrobial activity and safety. These quinolone derivatives contain a pair of enantiomers due to the halogenocyclopropane ring moiety regardless of stereoisomerism at the other position, which is ascribed to the stereochemical relationship between the pyridonecarboxylic acid moiety and the halogen atom on the cyclopropane ring. It is possible to apply a racemic compound of the quinolone derivative, a mixture of enantiomers, as a medicament as such. Where stereoisomerism exists at a position other than the halogenocyclopropane moiety, particularly at the 7-positioned substituent, such quinolone derivatives contain diastereomers, that is, at least 4 kinds of stereoisomers. A mixture of diastereomers is a mixture of isomers having different physical properties and is difficult to apply as a medicament as such. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present inventors have conducted extensive investigations for the purpose of obtaining a 1-(1,2-cis-2-fluorocyclopropyl)-substituted quinolone derivative which consists of a single stereoisomer even if it may contain diastereomers. As a result, the inventors have succeeded in separately obtaining each stereoisomer of cis-2-fluorocyclopropylamine as a pure isomer. Starting with this cis-fluorocyclopropylamine, the inventors separately obtained each antipode of a quinolone derivative attributed only to the steric configuration of the fluorocyclopropane ring thereof. Now that the above-mentioned quinolone derivative useful as an intermediate has been obtained, it is possible to synthesize an optically active quinolone derivative consisting solely of a single diastereomer by reacting the intermediate quinolone derivative with a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound consisting solely of a single isomer at introducing a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic substituent into the 7-position of the former. The inventors have ascertained that each of the resulting diastereomers exhibits potent antimicrobial activity and also has high safety with markedly improved selective toxicity and thus completed the invention. The present invention relates to a compound represented by formula (I): wherein X 1 represents a halogen atom; R 1 represents a hydrogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a thiol group, a halogenomethyl group, an alkyl group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms or an amino group being unsubstituted or substituted with one substituent group selected from formyl or acyl having 2 to 5 carbon atoms or with one or two alkyl groups having 1 to 6 carbon atoms; R 2 represents a bicyclic heterocyclic substituent selected from a group consisting of a 2,8-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]nonan-8-yl group, a 3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-1(5)-ene-3-yl group and 2-oxa-5,8-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]nonan-8-yl-group; A represents a nitrogen atom or a group of formula: wherein X 3 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a cyano group, a trifluoromethyl group, an alkyl group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms or an amino group; or an ester thereof which is easily cleaved in vivo to give a free carboxylic acid, and which is selected from the group consisting of acetoxymethyl esters, pivaloyloxymethyl esters, ethoxycarbonyl esters, choline esters, dimethylaminoethyl esters, 5-indanyl esters, phthalidinyl esters, 5-alkyl-2-oxo-1,3-dioxol-4-yl-methyl esters, and 3-acetoxy-2-oxobutyl esters, or a salt thereof.

The present invention relates to a compound of formula (I) wherein the 1,2-cis-halogenocyclopropyl group is a (1R,2S)-2-halogenocyclopropyl group or a salt thereof. The present invention relates to a compound of formula (I) wherein R 2 is a substitutent selected from a group consisting of a 2,8-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]nonan-8-yl group, a 3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-1(5)-ene-3-yl group and 2-oxa-5,8-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]nonan-8-yl group.

The present invention relates to an antimicrobial agent containing the above-mentioned compound as an active ingredient. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Detailed explanation on the compounds of the present invention is described below. At first, an explanation for the substituents is described. As to the substituent X 1 and X 3 , in case when these are halogen atoms, X 1 and X 3 are preferably fluorine atoms. R 1 is a hydrogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a thiol group, a halogenomethyl group, an alkyl group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms or a substituted or unsubstituted amino group. The alkyl group as represented by R 1 may be straight or branched alkyl group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms and preferably includes a methyl group, an ethyl group, an n-propyl group, and an isopropyl group. Fluorine atom is a preferable species for the halogenoalkyl group, and the halogenoalkyl group preferably includes from 1 to 3 fluorine atoms. The halogenomethyl group as R 1 preferably includes from 1 up to 3 fluorine atoms. Preferable examples of the halogenomethyl groups include a fluoromethyl group and a difluoromethyl group. Substituents which may be on the amino group as R 1 include a formyl group, an alkyl group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and an acyl group having from 2 to 5 carbon atoms. In the case of an alkyl-substituted amino group, the amino group may have two alkyl groups. The amino group, hydroxyl group or thiol group as R 1 may be protected with a commonly employed protective group, such as an alkoxycarbonyl group, e.g., a t-butoxycarbonyl group and a 2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl group; an aralkyloxycarbonyl group, e.g., a benzyloxycarbonyl group, a p-methoxybenzyloxycarbonyl group, and a p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl group; an acyl group, e.g., an acetyl group, a methoxyacetyl group, a trifluoroacetyl group, a chloroacetyl group, a pivaloyl group, a formyl group, and a benzoyl group; an alkyl group or an aralkyl group, e.g., a t-butyl group, a benzyl group, a p-nitrobenzyl group, a p-methoxybenzyl group, and a triphenylmethyl group; an ether group, e.g., a methoxymethyl group, a t-butoxymethyl group, a tetrahydropyranyl group, and a 2,2,2-trichloroethoxymethyl group; and a silyl group, e.g., a trimethylsilyl group, an isopropyldimethylsilyl group, a t-butyldimethylsilyl group, a tribenzylsilyl group, and a t-butyldiphenylsilyl group. The substituent R 2 is a bicyclic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic substituent. The nitrogen-containing heterocyclic substituent is a substituent derived from a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound. Preferable heterocyclic substituents are saturated ones, and in other words, a substituent derived from an alicyclic compound with its carbon atom constituting the cyclic structure thereof being replaced with a nitrogen atom. The ring system of the bicyclic substituents is a bicyclo[3.3.0] or [4.3.0] system. One of the two rings is a 5 -membered ring containing one nitrogen atom, via which the heterocyclic substituent R 2 is bonded to the 7-position of the quinoline ring or naphthylidine ring. This nitrogen-containing ring is fused with a second 5- or 6-membered ring which contains one or two hetero atoms selected from a group consisting of a nitrogen atom and an oxygen atom. The two carbon atoms shared by the two rings constituting R 2 may be bonded to a hydrogen atom. The hydrogen atoms may be either on the same side (cis-configuration) or different sides (trans-configuration) of the plane formed by the rings. The bond between the two carbon atoms shared by the two rings may be either a single bond or a double bond. The bicyclic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic substituent are: 2,8-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]nonan-8-yl group; 3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-1(5)-ene-3-yl group; 2-oxa-5,8-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]-nonan-8-yl group. The nitrogen-containing heterocyclic substituent R 2 is bonded to the 7-position of the quinolone nucleus through the nitrogen atom thereof. In cases where a bicyclic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound which is used for introducing the bicyclic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic substituent R 2 includes stereoisomerism, reaction between a mixture of the stereoisomers and a quinolone compound results in formation of a mixture of diastereomers of a quinolone derivative due to the stereochemical relationship between the introduced bicyclic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic substituent and the 1,2-cis-2-halogenocyclopropyl group at the 1-position. Therefore, in these cases, it is preferable to use a single stereoisomer of the nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound as a starting material. In carrying out the reaction for introducing the bicyclic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic substituent to the 7-position of a quinolone nucleus, the nitrogen atom of the heterocyclic ring may be protected with a commonly employed protective group, such as an alkoxycarbonyl group, e.g., a t-butoxycarbonyl group and a 2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl group; an aralkyloxycarbonyl group, e.g., a benzyloxycarbonyl group, a p-methoxybenzyloxycarbonyl group, and a p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl group; an acyl group, e.g., an acetyl group, a methoxyacetyl group, a trifluoroacetyl group, a chloroacetyl group, a pivaloyl group, a formyl group, and a benzoyl group; an alkyl group or an aralkyl group, e.g., a t-butyl group, a benzyl group, a p-nitrobenzyl group, a p-methoxybenzyl group, and a triphenylmethyl group; an ether group, e.g., a methoxymethyl group, a t-butoxymethyl group, a tetrahydropyranyl group, and a 2,2,2-trichloroethoxymethyl group; and a silyl group, e.g., a trimethylsilyl group, an isopropyldimethylsilyl group, a t-butyldimethylsilyl group, a tribenzylsilyl group, and a t-butyldiphenylsilyl group. The 1,2-cis-2-halogenocyclopropyl group is described hereinafter. The cyclopropyl group at the N 1 -position of the compound of the present invention is substituted with a fluorine atom, which produces an effect of reducing lipophilicity of the whole molecule. The present inventors have thought that distribution of a medicament to the central nervous system and excretion into the bile would be accelerated as the lipophilicity of the compound increases and that the N 1 -(1,2-cis-2-halogenocyclopropyl)-substituted pyridonecarboxylic acid derivative of the present invention would be less toxic accordingly. The halogen atom and the pyridonecarboxylic acid moiety are in a cis-configuration with respect to the cyclopropane ring. Regardless of stereoisomerism of the bicyclic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic substituent at the 7-position, the cis-2-halogenocyclopropyl moiety at the 1-position gives a pair of antipodes. Each of antipodes was observed to exhibit potent antimicrobial activity and high safety. Where diastereomers may exist in the compound of formula (I), it is necessary to administer a compound comprising a single diastereomer to humans or animals. The terminology "single diastereomer" as used herein is construed as including not only a compound containing no other diastereomer but a compound containing other diastereomers to such an extent that the whole structure is recognized to be chemically pure. In other words, it is construed as meaning that other diastereomers may exist to some extent as long as such existence gives no substantial influence on physiological activities or physicochemical constants. Moreover, if a compound is present in an isomerically pure state, such a compound is safe to be said "having a single stereoisomerism". The pyridonecarboxylic acid derivative of the present invention may be either in a free form or a form of an acid addition salt or a salt at the carboxyl group. Acid addition salts include inorganic acid salts, such as hydrochlorides, sulfates, nitrates, hydrobromides, hydroiodides, and phosphates; and organic acid salts, such as acetates, metanesulfonates, benzenesulfonates, toluenesulfonates, citrates, maleates, fumarates, and lactates. Salts at the carboxyl group include both inorganic salts and organic salts, such as alkali metal salts, e.g., lithium salts, sodium salts, and potassium salts; alkaline earth metal salts, e.g., magnesium salts and calcium salts; ammonium salts; triethylamine salts; N-methylglucamine salts; and tris-(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane salts. The free pyridonecarboxylic acid derivatives, acid addition salts thereof, and salts thereof at the carboxyl group may be present as a hydrate. On the other hand, when the carboxylic acid moiety of quinolone derivatives is an ester moiety, they are useful as a synthetic intermediate or a pro-drug (a drug precursor). For example, alkyl esters, benzyl esters, alkyloxyalkyl esters, phenylalkyl esters, and phenyl esters are useful as synthetic intermediates. Esters which can be used as pro-drugs are esters which are easily cleaved in vivo to give a free carboxylic acid, and include acetoxymethyl esters, pivaloyloxymethyl esters, ethoxycarbonyl esters, choline esters, dimethylaminoethyl esters, 5-indanyl esters, phthalidinyl esters, 5-alkyl-2-oxo-1,3-dioxol-4-yl-methyl esters, and oxoalkyl esters, such as 3-acetoxy-2-oxobutyl esters. A process for preparing the compounds according to the present invention is explained below by way of an illustrative example for a compound having a quinoline skeleton. In the scheme above, R 22 represents the same bicyclic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic substituent as R 2 or a protected group thereof. An optically active, stereoisomerically pure, 1-(1,2-cis-2-fluorocyclopropyl)-6,7-difluoro-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester 1a or 1b is hydrolyzed under an acidic or alkaline condition to give a free carboxylic acid derivative 2a or 2b. Compound 2a or 2b is then reacted with a bicyclic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound R 22 -H to yield a desired compound IIIa or IIIb. If desired, a protective group in R 22 is removed under conditions selected according to the protective group to give a desired compound Ia or Ib. The substitution reaction between the quinoline compound and the bicyclic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound may be carried out in a solvent, such as dimethyl sulfoxide, pyridine, acetonitrile or 3-methoxybutanol, at a temperature of from room temperature to about 150°C, and preferably from about 40° to about 120°C. The reaction time ranges from about 30 minutes to about 5 hours and the reaction time of from about 30 minutes to about 2 hours usually complete the reaction. Alternatively, compound 1a or 1b is reacted with the bicyclic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound under conditions similar to those described above, and the resulting compound IIa or IIb is hydrolyzed under an acidic or alkaline condition without being isolated and purified and, if necessary, treated to cleave the protective group from R 22 to yield a desired compound IIIa or IIIb or Ia or Ib. A stereoisomerically pure cis-2-fluorocyclopropylamine necessary for synthesizing the compound 1a or 1b can be synthesized as follows. 2-Fluorocyclopropanecarboxylic acid is reacted with (R)-(+)-α-methylbenzylamine to give N-[1-(R)-phenylethyl]-1,2-cis-2-fluorocyclopropanecarboxamide. This reaction can be carried out in tetrahydrofuran in the presence of N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole or in accordance with a mixed anhydride method. In the mixed anhydride method, the carboxylic acid is dissolved in an aprotic solvent and reacted with a halogenoformic ester in the presence of a base at a low temperature. The reaction product is then reacted with the above-mentioned benzylamine, and the reaction mixture is treated by a known method to give a carboxamide. The resulting carboxamide is chromatographically separated into each enantiomer of N-[1-(R)-phenylethyl]-1,2-cis-2-fluorocyclopropanecarboxamide. The solvent to be used in the mixed anhydride method preferably includes aprotic solvents, such as ethers, e.g., diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, 1,4-dioxane, and 1,2-dimethoxyethane; halogenated hydrocarbons, e.g., dichloromethane, chloroform, 1,2-dichloroethane, and 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane; aromatic hydrocarbons, e.g., benzene, toluene, and xylene; and aliphatic hydrocarbons, e.g., pentane, hexane, heptane, and cyclohexane. Of these solvents, generally employed are tetrahydrofuran, chloroform, etc. In carrying out the reaction, the water contained in the solvent is generally removed beforehand. The halogen atom in the halogenoformic ester is usually a chlorine atom. The esters include those of methyl, ethyl, 2,2,2-trichloroethyl, phenyl, p-nitrophenyl, benzyl, etc. The base to be used may be either inorganic or organic. Examples of inorganic bases include hydroxides, carbonates or hydrogencarbonates of alkali metals, such as lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, lithium carbonate, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium hydrogencarbonate, and potassium hydrogencarbonate. Examples of organic bases include trialkylamines, e.g., triethylamine, tripropylamine, tributylamine, and N,N-diisopropylethylamine; dialkylanilines, e.g., diethylaniline and dimethylaniline; and saturated or aromatic heterocyclic compounds, e.g., N-methylmorpholine, pyridine, and N,N-dimethylaminopyridine. Separation of the produced carboxamide into optical isomers can be performed in a usual manner by silica gel column chromatography, silica gel column chromatography under pressure, preparative TLC, high performance liquid chromatography, and so forth. It is also possible to separate into optical isomers through generally employed separation techniques other than chromatography, such as recrystallization, reprecipitation, and the like. The thus separated optically active carboxamide compound is led to an optically active cis-2-fluorocyclopropanecarboxylic acid by heating in an acidic condition. The heating is effected by, for example, dissolving the carboxamide in concentrated hydrochloric acid followed by heating. Sulfuric acid, nitric acid, etc. may also be used. The reaction may also be carried out in the presence of a solvent, such as acetic acid, a lower alcohol, etc. The resulting carboxylic acid compound is subjected to Curtius reaction in the presence of t-butanol to be converted directly to protected cis-1-(t-butoxycarbonylamino)-2-fluorocyclopropane. While this reaction can be carried out conveniently by using diphenylphosphoryl azide, synthesis of the intermediate azide compound is not limited thereto, and usual synthetic processes may be applied. Starting with the thus obtained stereoisomerically pure cis-2-fluorocyclopropylamine derivative, a quinolone derivative having a cis-fluorocyclopropyl group at the 1-position can be obtained as a single antipode which is then reacted with a bicyclic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound as described above to yield a quinolone derivative of the present invention. The compounds of the present invention have potent antimicrobial activity and are therefore useful as medicaments for humans, animals or fishes, agricultural chemicals, or food preservatives. For use as medicaments for humans, the dose of the compound is in the range of from 50 mg to 1 g, and preferably from 100 mg to 300 mg, per day for adults. For veterinary use, the dose is generally in the range of from 1 to 200 mg, and preferably from 5 to 100 mg, per kg of body weight per day while varying depending on the purpose of administration (for therapy or for prevention), the kind and the size of the animal, the kind of the pathogenic organisms, and the symptom. The above-mentioned daily dose is given once a day or in 2 to 4 divided doses. If necessary, a daily dose may exceed the above-specified range.
