If, for example, 7-chloro-8-cyano-1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid and 2,8-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]nonane are used for the preparation of compounds of the formula (I), the course of the reaction can be represented by the following equation:

Compounds of the formula (I) can also be obtained by a procedure in which, after the reaction of a compound of the formula (II) with 2,8-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]nonane, a further reaction of the resulting product is carried out. Thus, compounds of the formula (I) where R

2

is a radical —CH═CH═COOEt, for example, can be obtained in accordance with the following equation:

Compounds of the formula (I) in which R

1

represents hydrogen can be N-alkylated, N-alkenylated or N-acylated in a manner known per se.

The compounds of the formula (II) used as starting compounds are known from U.S. Pat. No. 4,990,517 or can be prepared by known processes. Examples which may be mentioned are:

7-chloro-8-cyanol-1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid

methyl 7-chloro-8-cyano-1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinoline-carboxylate

8-cyano-1-cyclopropyl-6,7-difluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid ethyl 8-cyano-1-cyclopropyl-6,7-difluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylate.

Thus, the compounds of the formula (I) can b e prepared, for example, by reacting a compound of the formula (IV) with a β-dimethylamino-acrylic acid ester of the formula (V) and reacting the resulting product of the formula (VI) with cyclopropylamine to give a compound of the formula (VII), and then obtaining the compound (II):

In the above equation,

X represents halogen, in particular fluorine or chlorine, and

R

6

1-4

-alkyl, in particular methyl or ethyl, which is optionally substituted as described for R

1

.

It is also possible to react a compound of the formula (IV) directly with a β-cyclopropylamino-acrylic acid ester:

(In the formulae, X and R

6

have the abovementioned meaning.)

In this case, the intermediate product for example, of the formula (IV) where X=F can be prepared in accordance with the following equation:

The starting material of the formula (VIII) is known from DE 3 631 906.

The reaction of compounds of the formula (II) with compounds of the formula (III), in which the compounds (III) can also be employed in the form of their salts, such as, for example, the hydrochlorides, is preferably carried out in a diluent, such as dimethyl sulfoxide, N,N-dimethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, hexamethyl-phosphoric acid trisamide, sulfolane, acetonitrile, water, an alcohol, such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol or isopropanol, glycol monomethyl ether or pyridine. Mixtures of these diluents can also be used.

Acid-binding agents which can be used are all the customary inorganic and organic acid-binding agents. These include, preferably, the alkali metal hydroxides, alkali metal carbonates, organic amines and amidines. Particularly suitable agents which may be mentioned specifically are: triethylamine, 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO), 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) or excess amine (III).

The reaction temperatures can be varied within a substantial range. In general, the reaction is carried out between about 0 and 200° C., preferably between 20 and 180° C.

The reaction can be carried out under normal pressure, but also under increased pressure. In general, the reaction is carried out under pressures of between 1 bar and 100 bar, preferably between 1 and 10 bar.

In carrying out the process according to the invention, 1 to 15 mol, preferably 1 to 6 mol, of the compound (III) are employed per mole of the compound (II).

Free amino groups can be protected by a suitable amino-protective group, for example by the tert-butoxycarbonyl radical, during the reaction and, when the reaction has ended, liberated again by treatment with a suitable acid, such as hydrochloric acid or trifluoroacetic acid (see Houben-Weyl, Methoden der Organischen Chemie [Methods of Organic Chemistry], Volume E4, page 144 (1983); and J. F. W. McOmie, Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry (1973), page 43).

The esters according to the invention can also be obtained by reaction of an alkali metal salt of the carboxylic acid on which they are based, which can optionally be protected on the N atom by a protective group, such as the tert-butoxycarbonyl radical, with suitable halogenoalkyl derivatives in a solvent, such as dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, dimethyl sulfoxide or tetramethylurea, at temperatures of about 0 to 100° C., preferably 0 to 50° C.

The acid addition salts of the compounds according to the invention are prepared in the customary manner, for example by dissolving the betaine in an adequate amount of aqueous acid and precipitating the salt with a water-miscible organic solvent, such as methanol, ethanol, acetone or acetonitrile. It is also possible to heat equivalent amounts of betaine and acid in water or an alcohol, such as glycol monoethyl ether, and then to evaporate the mixture to dryness or to filter off the salt which has precipitated with suction. Pharmaceutically usable salts are to be understood as meaning, for example, the salts of hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid, succinic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, methanesulfonic acid, 4-toluenesulfonic acid, galacturonic acid, gluconic acid, embonic acid, glutamic acid or aspartic acid. The compounds according to the invention can furthermore be bonded to acid or basic ion exchangers.

Acid addition salts of the compounds according to the invention can also be obtained by hydrolyzing a carboxylic acid ester of the formula (I), where R

1

is, for example, methyl or ethyl, with an adequate amount of the corresponding acid to give a carboxylic acid of the formula (I) where R

1

is hydrogen, and isolating the acid addition salt.

The alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salts of the carboxylic acids according to the invention are obtained, for example, by dissolving the betaine in less than the equivalent amount of alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxide solution, filtering off the undissolved betaine and evaporating the filtrate to dryness. Sodium, potassium or calcium salts are pharmaceutically suitable. The corresponding silver salts are obtained by reaction of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salt with a suitable silver salt, such as silver nitrate.

Alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salts of the carboxylic acids according to the invention can also be obtained by hydrolyzing a carboxylic acid ester of the formula (I), where R

1

is, for example, methyl or ethyl, with an adequate amount of alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxide solution and isolating the corresponding alkali metal salt or alkaline earth metal salt.

The compounds according to the invention have a potent antibiotic action and show a broad antibacterial spectrum against Gram-positive and Gram-negative germs, in particular also against those which are resistant to various antibiotics, such as, for example, penicillins, cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, sulfonamides and tetracyclines, coupled with a low toxicity.

These valuable properties enable them to be used as chemotherapeutic active compounds in medicine and veterinary medicine and as substances for preserving inorganic and organic materials, in particular all types of organic materials, for example polymers, lubricants, paints, fibres, leather, paper and wood, and foodstuffs and water.

The compounds according to the invention are active against a very broad spectrum of microorganisms. With the aid of these compounds, Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and bacteria-like microorganisms can be controlled and the diseases caused by these pathogens can be prevented, alleviated and/or cured.

The compounds according to the invention are distinguished by an intensified action, above all, on resistant germs and Mycoplasma.

The compounds according to the invention show surprising increases in action against bacteria which are classified as less sensitive to comparable substances, in particular resistant

Staphylococcus aureus

and

E. coli.

The compounds according to the invention are particularly active against bacteria and bacteria-like microorganisms. They are therefore particularly suitable in human and veterinary medicine for prophylaxis and chemotherapy of local and systemic infections caused by these pathogens.

The compounds are furthermore suitable for combating protozoonoses and helminthoses.

The compounds according to the invention can be used in various pharmaceutical formulations. Preferred pharmaceutical formulations which may be mentioned are tablets, coated tablets, capsules, pills, granules, suppositories, injection solutions, suspensions and emulsions and solutions, suspensions and emulsions which can be administered orally, and furthermore pastes, ointments, gels, creams, lotions, powders and sprays.

The active compounds are preferably suitable for combating bacterial diseases which occur in animal husbandry and animal breeding in stock, breeding, zoo, laboratory and test animals and pets, and have a favorable toxicity toward warm-blooded animals. They are active here against all or individual stages of development and against resistant and normally sensitive strains. By combating the bacterial diseases, disease, cases of death and reductions in productivity (for example production of meat, milk, wool, hides, eggs, honey and the like) should be diminished, so that more economical and easier animal husbandry is possible by the use of the active compounds.

The stock and breeding animals include mammals, such as, for example, cattle, horses, sheep, pigs, goats, camels, buffalo, donkeys, rabbits, fallow deer, reindeer, fur-bearing animals, such as, for example, mink, chinchillas and raccoons, and birds, such as, for example, chickens, geese, turkeys, ducks, pigeons and species of birds to be kept as pets and in zoos. They also include stock and ornamental fishes.

The laboratory and test animals include mice, rats, guinea pigs, golden hamsters, dogs and cats.

The pets include dogs and cats.

In general, it has proved advantageous to administer amounts of about 0.5 to about 50 mg, preferably 1 to 20 mg, of active compound per kg of body weight per day to achieve effective results.

The active compounds can also be administered to the animals together with the feed or drinking water.

Feed- and foodstuffs comprise 0.01 to 100 ppm, preferably 0.5 to 50 ppm, of the active compound, in combination with a suitable edible material.

Such a feed- and foodstuff can be used both for healing purposes and for prophylactic purposes.

Such a feed- or foodstuff is prepared by mixing a concentrate or a premix, which comprises 0.5 to 30%, preferably 1 to 20% by weight of an active compound mixed with an edible organic or inorganic carrier, with customary feedstuffs. Edible carriers are, for example, corn flour or corn and soybean flour or mineral salts, which preferably comprise a small amount of an edible dust prevention oil, for example maize oil or soya oil. The premix obtained here can then be added to the complete feedstuff before it is fed to the animals.

The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of the compounds according to the invention were determined by series dilution methods on Iso-Sensitest agar (Oxoid). For each test substance, a series of agar plates which contained concentrations of the active compound decreasing by double dilution in each case was prepared. The agar plates were inoculated with a Multipoint inoculator (Denley). Overnight cultures of the pathogens, which were diluted beforehand such that each inoculation point comprised about 10

4

colony-forming particles, were used for the inoculation. The inoculated agar plates were incubated at 37° C. and the germ growth was read after about 20 hours. The MIC value (μg/ml) indicates the lowest active compound concentration at which no growth was detectable with the naked eye. The MIC values for Mycoplasma were recorded under a microscope after an incubation period of 5 to 7 days.

The MIC values of one of the compounds according to the invention are shown in the following table in comparison with enrofloxacin as the reference compound.

The improved pharmacokinetic properties of the substance from Example 1 according to the invention compared with the reference compound enrofloxacin was demonstrated on dogs in a serum kinetics study. The substances were tested in a dosage of 5 mg/kg of body weight on in each case 6 dogs of the beagle breed. The intravenous (i.v.), intramuscular (i.m.) and oral modes of administration were used in a simple cross-over design. It could be demonstrated with all the modes of administration that a higher peak value of the serum concentration (C
