Synthesis of Antimicrobial Agents. II. Synthesis of 1, 8-Naphthyridine Derivatives and Their Activities against Trichomonas vaginalis

Abstract
In order to find new antimicrobial agents, a number of substituted 1,8-naphthyridine derivatives and related compounds were synthesized. Nitration of nalidixic acid with fuming sulfuric acid and fuming nitric acid gave 1-ethyl-1,4-dihydro-3-nitro-4-oxo-1,8-naphthyridine-7-carboxylic acid. Ethyl 7-substituted amino-1-ethyl-1,4-dihydro-6-nitro-4-oxo-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylate obtained in this work showed nearly the same activity with metronidazole against T. vaginalis.
