PD 140248 is a novel broad-spectrum 7-pyrrolidinyl fluoronaphthyridines with a cyclopropyl or a difluorophenyl substitution at the 1 positions, respectively. It has been demonstrated to have excellent in vitro activity against gram-positive organisms. This compound was evaluated for its in vivo potencies against acute systemic infections in mice and in a mouse pneumococcal pneumonia model. Most remarkable was its comparative median protective value against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Streptococcus pyogenes. PD 140248 has excellent therapeutic potential against clinically important gram-positive pathogens when the drugs are administered both orally and parenterally. |
