Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     The present invention relates to novel pyridonecarboxylic acids exhibiting excellent antibacterial activities against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. 
     2. Prior Art 
     The compounds described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,382,892, FR. Pat. No. 2,563,521 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,528,287 Specifications have been known as pyridonecarboxylic acid antibacterial agents.

     The present invention relates to compounds of the formula: ##STR2## wherein R 1  is hydrogen, hydroxy, C 1  -C 4  alkyl, C 1  -C 4  alkoxy, oxo, halogen, or amino optionally substituted by a member selected from the group consisting of C 1  -C 4  alkyl and C 1  -C 4  alkanoyl; R 2  is azido, hydroxy, C 1  -C 4  alkoxy, C 1  -C 4  alkoxycarbonyl, C 1  -C 4  alkanoyl, or amino optionally substituted by a member selected from the group consisting of C 1  -C 4  alkyl and C 1  -C 4  alkanoyl; A is ##STR3## R 3  is hydrogen or carboxy-protecting group; R 4  is C 1  -C 4  alkyl, C 2  -C 5  alkenyl, C 3  -C 5  cycloalkyl, mono- or di-fluorophenyl, or 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic group optionally substituted by a member selected from the group consisting of halogen and C 1  -C 4  alkyl; R 5  is hydrogen, amino, hydroxy, or C 1  -C 4  alkoxy; R 6  is halogen; X is CH--(C 1  -C 4  alkyl), C═CH 2 , N--H, or N--(C 1  -C 4  alkyl); Z is CQ or N; Q is hydrogen, C 1  -C 4  alkoxy, halogen, C 1  -C 4  alkyl, or cyano; m is an integer of 0 or 1; n and p each is an integer of 1 to 3, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. 
     In the specification, C 1  -C 4  alkyl means straight or branched chain C 1  -C 4  alkyl, including methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, and the like. 
     Halogen means chlorine, bromine, or fluorine. 
     Carboxy-protecting group means C 1  -C 4  alkyl. 
     5- or 6-membered heterocyclic group means thienyl, furyl, pyranyl, pyrolyl, imidazolyl, thiazolyl, and pyrazinyl, etc. 
     The compound (I) of this invention can be prepared by reacting a compound of the formula: 
     
         Hal-A(II) 
    
     wherein Hal is halogen and A has the same meaning as defined above, with a compound of the formula: ##STR4## wherein R 1 , R 2 , m, n, and p have the same meanings as defined above. 
     When the substituted amino is contained in R 1  and/or R 2 , it may be further subjected to deprotective reaction, if desired, and led to a compound (Ia) in which the substituent has been eliminated from the substituted amino in R 1  and/or R 2 . 
     Thus, the method for manufacturing the compound (I) is shown by the following scheme: ##STR5## wherein A, R 1 , R 2 , m, n, and p have the same meanings as defined above. 
     The following will be explanations about the respective steps: 
     STEP 1 
     The compound (I) of this invention can be prepared by reacting the starting material (II) with the amine (III). This reaction can be performed in a solvent such as water, an alcohol, acetonitrile, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or dimethylformamide (DMF). The reaction is performed at 15°-200° C., preferably at 80°-120° C. or around the boiling point of the solvent for one to several hours. According to a conventional manner, bases such as triethylamine, pyridine, or DBU may be added in order to accelerate the reaction. 
     STEP 2 
     When the substituted amino is contained in R 1  or R 2  of the formula (I), I may be subjected, if desired, to deprotective reaction and led to (Ia). In other words, the deprotective reaction can be easily performed in a conventional manner using bases such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide and acids such as hydrochloric acid or acetic acid in a solvent such as water, aqueous alcohol, or aqueous acetic acid, at a temperature from room temperature to around the boiling point of the solvent. The starting material of the formula (II) can be synthesized by the method described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,382,892 Specification. 
     The compound represented by the formula (I) can be converted to acid-addition salt thereof in a conventional manner, if desired. The salt-forming acid illustratively includes an inorganic acid such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid or, phosphoric acid and an organic acid such as methanesulfonic acid, lactic acid, oxalic acid, or acetic acid. 
     The compound may also be led to a salt of alkaline metal such as sodium or potassium. 
     The compound (I) of this invention can be administered orally or parenterally to humans or mammals. They can be formulated into tablets, capsules, pills, granules, injections, suppositories, and syrups by conventional pharmaceutical practice. The pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents, and fillers include lactose, cane sugar, wheat starch, potato starch, magnesium stearate, gelatin, methyl cellulose, agar, water, etc. Stabilizers, emulsifiers, wet extenders, buffers, and other auxiliaries may be added appropriately, if necessary. Suitable daily doses are 1-500 mg for oral administration and 0.1-300 mg for injection.

     (1) To a suspension of 230 mg of (1R*, 5S*)-1-acetylaminomethyl-3-azabicyclo[3,3,0]octane hydrochloride (III-1) and 250 mg of 1-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-6,7,8-trifluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid (II-2) in 10 ml of acetonitrile is added 160 mg of DBU under stirring, and the solution is refluxed for 2 hours under stirring. The reaction mixture is concentrated and the residue is dissolved in methylene chloride. The organic layer is washed with water and dried over Na 2  SO 4  and concentrated. The residue is chromatographed on a column of silica gel eluting with 7% methanol-methylene chloride. The eluate is concentrated and the residue is washed with ethyl acetate-isopropyl ether and collected by filtration to give 208 mg of light yellow crystal (I-21&#39;).

     (2) To 8 ml of conc. hydrochloric acid is added 150 mg of the compound (I-21&#39;) and the mixture is refluxed at 130° C. for 2 hours. After the solvent is concentrated, the residue is washed with a mixture of methanol-ether, filtered and recrystallize from methanol-ethyl acetate to give 86 mg of the objective compound (I-21) as crystal.
