Abstract
This study reports the synthesis of seven new 8-amino-7-(aryl/hetaryl)fluoroquinolones and their antibacterial activity against 10 bacteria associated with microbial infections and foodborne illnesses. These fluoroquinolones are prepared via the reactions of selected aryl(hetaryl)boronic acids with ethyl-7chloro-6-fluoro-8-nitroquinolone-3-carboxylate, under Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling conditions. Nitro group reduction of the latter resulted in the corresponding 8-aminoquinolone-3-esters which upon hydrolysis formed the respective 8-amino-7-(aryl/hetaryl)-quinolone-3-carboxylic acids. The latter compounds were tested against selected Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Klebsiella pneumonia) and Gram-positive bacteria (Enterococcus feacalis, Listeria monocytogenes, Streptococcus agalactiae, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Staphylococcus aureus). The tested fluoroquinolones showed a significant antimicrobial activity against most of the tested bacterial strains. The antimicrobial activity of some of the tested compounds were comparable to or higher than a wide range of standard antibiotics including ampicillin, ciprofloxacin, and imipenem. The results highlight the new synthesized 8-amino-7-(aryl/hetaryl)fluroquinolones as promising candidates for new antimicrobial drugs to treat bacterial infections. This study highlights that the newly synthetic 8-amino-7-(aryl/hetaryl)fluroquinolones are promising candidates for new antimicrobial drugs to treat human diseases including foodborne illnesses.
