A series of novel chiral 7-(1-, 3-, 4-, and 6-methyl-[(1R,4R)-2,5- diazabicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-yl]-substituted naphthyridines has been prepared with the aim of obtaining good in vitro and in vivo antibacterial agents with a decrease of the pseudoallergic type reaction when compared to that observed with 7[(1R,4R)-2,5-diazabicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-yl]-1-(1,1-dimethylethyl )1,4- dihydro-6-fluoro-4-oxo-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid (1a) (BMY 40062). The derivatives 7-[(1R,4R,6S)-6-methyl-2,5-diazabicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-yl]- 1-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-6-fluro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1,8-naphthyridine- 3-carboxylic acid (41) and 7-[(1R,4R,6S)-6-methyl-2,5-diazabicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2- yl]-1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxy lic acid (49) showed potent in vitro and in vivo antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The derivative 49 displayed a less marked decrease in blood pressure (MAP), compared to that of 1a, after intravenous infusion in dogs and was selected as a potential candidate for preclinical trials.
