Synthesis and evaluation of 1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-(4-(2-(4-substitutedpiperazin-1-yl)acetyl)piperazin-1-yl)quinoline-3-carboxylic acid derivatives as anti-tubercular and antibacterial agents.

A series of twenty two novel 1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-4-oxo-7-(4-substitutedpiperazin-1-yl)-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid analogues were synthesized, characterized ((1)H NMR, (13)C NMR and LCMS) and screened for their in vitro anti-tubercular and antibacterial activity. Many of these compounds exhibited MIC values in the range 7.32-136.10 μM against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. Eight compounds were further subjected to cytotoxic studies. Furthermore, the title compounds were screened for antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213 (gram positive) and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 (gram negative) bacteria. Many of these compounds exhibited MIC values in the range 0.44-34.02 μM. Compound 3f was found to be the most active with an MIC of 0.44 and 0.8 μM respectively against both the strains. In general, the antibacterial activity of title compounds was more prominent.
