Analogues of BMS-284756, a novel des-F(6)-quinolone, were synthesized and evaluated in order to determine the effects of modification of substituents on in vitro target inhibition. BMS-340281 (stereoisomer of BMS-284756), BMS-340280 (C-6 fluorinated analogue of BMS-284756), BMS-340278 (C-8-H derivative), BMS-433366 (C-8 methoxy analogue) and fluoroquinolone comparators were evaluated for antiba...
