In principle, the compounds of the formula I can be prepared by reaction of the aminoquinolines of the formula II with the 2-halomethylpyridines of the formula III (Hal = halogen, in particular chlorine) in a manner known per se. If appropriate, it may be useful to introduce the radical -X-A-[Y-C m H 2m ]r[Z-C n H 2n ] u -G completely or partially into the 4-position of the pyridine only after the reaction of an appropriately substituted 2-halomethylpyridine with the aminoquinoline II. The manner in which the compounds according to the invention can be obtained is shown in exemplary form in the following examples. The compounds of the formula II are known or can be prepared in a known manner analogously to known compounds. The compounds of the formula III are also known (see, for example, the abovementioned International Patent Applications in the section "Known Technical Background") or the abovementioned complete or partial introduction of the radical -X-A-[Y-C m H 2m ] t -[Z-C n H 2n ] u -G is described in the International Patent Applications mentioned. The following examples explain the invention in greater detail without restricting it. The exemplary final products and the salts of these compounds are preferred subject matter of the invention. The compounds according to the invention and the starting compounds can be prepared in a manner analogous to that described in the examples. The abbreviation m.p. means melting point, cone, stands for "concentrated", h stands for hour(s).

Commercial utility The excellent activity of compounds of the formula I and their salts against Helicobacter bacteria allows their use in human medicine as active compounds for the treatment of illnesses which are based on Helicobacter bacteria. The invention therefore further relates to a process for the treatment of mammals, in particular humans, who are suffering from illnesses which are based on Helicobacter bacteria. The process comprises administering to the sick individual a therapeutically efficacious and pharmacologically tolerable amount of one or more compounds of the formula I and/or their pharmacologically tolerable salts. The invention moreover relates to the compounds of the formula I and their pharmacologically tolerable salts for use in the treatment of illnesses which are based on Helicobacter bacteria. The invention also comprises the use of compounds of the formula I and their pharmacologically tolerable salts in the production of medicaments which are employed for the control of those illness which are based on Helicobacter bacteria. The invention further relates to medicaments for the control of Helicobacter bacteria, which contain one or more compounds of the general formula I and/or their pharmacologically tolerable salts. Of the Helicobacter strains against which the compounds of the formula I prove active, the strain Helicobacter pylori may be mentioned in particular. The medicaments are prepared by processes known per se, which are familiar to the person skilled in the art. As medicaments, the pharmacologically active compounds of the formula I and their salts (= active compounds) are either used as such, or preferably employed in combination with suitable pharmaceutical auxiliaries, e.g. in the form of tablets, coated tablets, capsules, emulsions, suspensions, gels or solutions, the active compound content advantageously being between 0.1 and 95%. Auxiliaries which are suitable for the desired pharmaceutical formulations are familiar to the person skilled in the art on account of his/her expert knowledge. In addition to solvents, gel-forming agents, tablet auxiliaries and other active compound carriers, it is possible to use, for example, antioxidants, dispersants, emulsifiers, antifoams, flavor corrigents, preservatives, solubiiizers, colorants or permeation promoters and complexing agents (e.g. cyclodextrins). The active compounds can be administered, for example, parenterally (e.g. intravenously) or in particular orally. ln general, the active compounds are administered in human medicine in a daily dose of approximately 0.2 to 50, preferably 1 to 30, mg/kg of body weight, if appropriate in the form of a number of, preferably 2 to 6, individual doses to achieve the desired result. The compounds according to the invention can also be administered in a fixed or free combination together with a substance neutralizing gastric acid and/or inhibiting gastric acid secretion and/or with a substance suitable for the conventional control of Helicobacter pylori. Substances neutralizing gastric acid which may be mentioned are, for example, sodium hydrogencar- bonate or other antacids (such as aluminum hydroxide, magnesium aluminate or magaldrate). Substances inhibiting gastric acid secretion which may be mentioned are, for example, H 2 blockers (e.g. cimetidine, ranitidine), H + /K + ATPase inhibitors (e.g. lansoprazole, omeprazole, rabeprazole or, in particular, pantoprazole) and so-called peripheral anticholinergics (e.g. pirenzepine, telenzepine). Substances suitable for the conventional control of Helicobacter pylori which may be mentioned are, in particular, antimicrobially active substances such as, for example, penicillin G, gentamycin, erythromy- cin, clarithromycin, azithromycin, nitrofurazone, tinidazole, nirofurantoin, furazolidone, metronidazole or amoxycillin, or else alternatively bismuth salts such as, for example, bismuth citrate. Biological investigations The compounds of the formula I were investigated with respect to their activity against Helicobacter pylori following the method described by Tomoyuki Iwahi et al. (Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1991 , 490-496) using Columbia agar (Oxoid) and a growth period of 4 days. For the compounds investigated, the approximate MIC 50 values listed in Table A below resulted here (the numbers of the compounds indicated agree with the example numbers in the description).
