“…Thereafter, plenty of researchers have devised the introduction of a fluorine atom into the quinolone nucleus, and flumequine [21,22] (Figure 2) has been produced initially as a fluoroquinolone derivative. Successively, many research groups in some pharmaceutical companies have developed various kinds of new quinolones with 6-fluoro and 7-piperazinyl (or other basic) group, which involve norfloxacin [23], pefloxacin [23], ofloxacin [24,25], ciprofloxacin [26,27], levofloxacin [25], enoxacin [28], amifloxacin [29] in the early 1980s; A-56620 [30], tosufloxacin [31,32], difloxacin [33], DR-3354 [34,35], sparfloxacin [36], BMY-40062 [37], pazufloxacin [38], sitafloxacin [39], WIN-57273 [40], HSR-903 [41] ( Figure 3), and some others in 1985 to the 1990s.…”
