A number of 7-[(3-methylthio or methylthiomethyl)pyrrolidiny]qui nolone-3-carboxylic acids were synthesized by condensation of 7-fluoro substituted quinolone-3-carboxylic acid with 3-methylthiopyrrolidine or 3-methylthiomet hylpyrrolidne. 3-Methylthiopyrrolidine or 3-methylthio-methylpyrrolidine which was prepared from N-benzyl-3-hydroxy pyrrolidine or 3-hydroxymethylpyrrolidine. The in vitro antimicrobial activity of them were tested against twenty species of Gram-positive or Gram-negative microorganisms. It showed remarkable antibacterial activity, particularly against Gram-positive microorganisms. Among those 1-cyclopropyl-6,8-difluoro-7-(3-methylthiomethy-lpyrrolidinyl)-1,4-d ihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid(7d) and 1-cyclopropyl-6- fluoro-8-chloro-7-(3-methylthiomethyl pyrrolidinyl)-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid (7f) showed the most potent in vitro antibacterial activity.

A number of 7-[3-hydroxy-(4-methylthio or 3-methylthiomethyl)pyrrolidinyl]quinoline-3-carboxylic acids were synthesized by condensation of 7-fluoro substituted quinoline-3-carboxylic acid with 3-hydroxy-4-methylthiopyrrolidine or 3-hydroxy-4-methylthiomethylpyrrolidine. The in vitro antimicrobial activity of them were tested against twenty species of Gram-positive or Gram-negative microorganisms. It showed remarkable antibacterial activity, particularly against Gram-positive microorganisms. Among those 1-cyclopropyl-5-amino-6,8-difluoro 7-(3-hydroxy-4-methylthiomethylpyrrolidinyl)-1,4-dihyd ro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid(12d) and 1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-8-methoxy-7-(3-hydroxy-4-methylthiometby1pyrrolinyl)-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinocarboxylic acid(12g) showed the most potent in vitro antibacterial activity, and 12d showed better antibacterial activity against MRSA compared to ciprofloxacin and sparfloxacin.
