Synthesis of antimicrobial agents. VII. Synthesis and antibacterial activities of furo(2,3-g)quinoline derivatives.

Abstract
As part of a series of studies on the synthesis of new antibacterial agents, tetracyclic compounds having a furo[2,3-g]quinoline moiety as a common structural unit were synthesized and their antibacterial activities were examined. Among them, 3-methyl-7-oxo-2,3-dihydro-7H-furo[2,3-h]pyrido[1,2,3-de][1,4]benzoxazine-6-carboxylic acid exhibited the most potent antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and -negative organisms [Escherichia coli, Shigella flexneri, Salmonella typhimurium, Proteus vulgaris, P. mirabilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter cloacae, Serratia marcescens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes], and it showed low acute toxicity to mice.
