Resistance to the antibiotics currently used has increased appreciably in many countries of the world in recent years and in some cases has assumed alarming proportions. The main problem is that those pathogens exhibit not just a single resistance but, as a rule, multiple resistance. This is true especially of some gram-positive pathogen groups, such as staphylococci, pneumococci and enterococci (S. Ewig et al., Anti-biotika-Resistenz bei Erregem ambulant erworbener Atemwegsinfektionen (Antibiotic resistance in pathogens of outpatient-acquired respiratory tract infections), Chemother. J. 2002, 11, 12-26; F. Tenover, Development and spread of bacterial resistance to antimicrobial agents: an overview, Clin. Infect. Dis. 2001 Sep. 15, 33 Suppl. 3, 108-115).
A long-feared development has recently occurred: In the USA, the first strain of Staphylococcus aureus has been described that is not only resistant to methicillin but also highly resistant to vancomycin (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Staphylococcus aureus resistant to vancomycin—United States, 2002, MMWR 2002, 51, 565-567). In addition to hygiene measures in hospitals, therefore, increased efforts are also required to find new antibiotics that as far as possible have a novel structure and a novel mechanism of action so as to be effective against those problem pathogens.
The present invention describes new kinds of compounds having an anti-bacterial activity. These compounds are, amongst others, of interest as inhibitors of DNA gyrase and topoisomerases (for example topoisomerase II and IV).
