title: Synthesis and antibacterial activity of 7-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazin-7-yl) quinolones.
abstract: A novel series of 7-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazin-7-yl) quinolones has been designed and synthesized in which the heterocyclic side chain is attached to the quinolone core through a carbon-carbon linkage. The antibacterial activity of the compounds was determined against a panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens. Compounds 1b and 1e, bearing an 8-methoxy group as well as unsubstituted and (3S)-methyl substituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazin-7-yl side chains, respectively, demonstrated notable activity against ciprofloxacin-resistant clinical isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae.
