“…A library of seven quinolines, 61a−c, 61j, 61t, 61w, and 61y, together with other known EPIs such as 3-phenyl-1,4benzothiazines, 94 6-amino-7-thiopyranopyridinyl quinolone esters, 89 2-(4′-propoxyphenyl)quinolines, 92 pyrazolo[4,3-c]-[1,2]benzothiazines 5,5 dioxide, 95 and 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinolines 96 was used to develop the pharmacophore model. Sixtyfive compounds were chosen in order to obtain high homogeneity in the biological data; in particular, derivatives with a well-defined chirality for which NorA inhibitory activity was evaluated at the screening concentration of 50 μM on the NorA overexpressing S. aureus strain SA-1199B.…”
