New quinolone antimicrobial agents (racemic, (1'S,2'R)- and (1'R,2'S)-6-fluoro-7-(1-piperazinyl)-1-(2'-trans-phenyl-1'-cyclopropyl)- 1, 4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acids) were synthesized, and their in vitro antimicrobial potencies and spectra were determined. As compared to their conceptual parents, these agents retained a considerable amount of the antimicrobial potency and spectra of ciprofloxacin and of 6-fluoro-1-phenyl-7-(1-piperazinyl)-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxy lic acid against Gram-positives. Gram-negatives were considerably less sensitive. The (-)-(1'S,2'R) analogue was the more potent of the enantiomers, but the degree of chiral discrimination by most bacteria was only 4-fold. The 4-fold chiral discrimination was observed also using purified DNA gyrase obtained from Micrococcus luteus, whereas the two enantiomers were essentially equiactive against the enzyme derived from Escherichia coli. These results confirm that there is a substantial degree of bulk tolerance available at N-1 of quinolone antimicrobial agents and suggest that electronic factors controlled by substitution at that site are of considerable importance. On the other hand, chiral recognition brought about by attachment of optically active groups to the N-1 position in these derivatives is relatively small.
