Definitions

• the present invention relates to the use of quinoline derivatives for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of a bacterial infection.
• Resistance to first-line antibiotic agents is an emerging problem.
• Some important examples include penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae, vancomycin-resistant enterococci, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, multi-resistant salmonellae.
• Self-medication with antimicrobials is another major factor contributing to resistance.
• Self-medicated antimicrobials may be unnecessary, are often inadequately dosed, or may not contain adequate amounts of active drug.
• Patient compliance with recommended treatment is another major problem. Patients forget to take medication, interrupt their treatment when they begin to feel better, or may be unable to afford a full course, thereby creating an ideal environment for microbes to adapt rather than be killed.
• WO 2004/011436 discloses substituted quinoline derivatives having activity against Mycobacteria, in particular against Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
