title: Synthesis and antibacterial activity of novel fluoroquinolones containing substituted piperidines.
abstract: The design and synthesis of new fluoroquinolone antibacterial agents having substituted piperidine rings at the C-7 position are described. Most of the new compounds demonstrated high in vitro antibacterial activity. Several of them exhibited significant activities against gram-positive organisms, which were more potent than those of gemifloxacin, Linezolid, and vancomycin.
