Temafloxacin hydrochloride is a potent member of the 4-pyridone-3-carboxylic acid class of antibacterial agents and is currently under clinical development as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent.It is a racemate having a chiral center at the C3 of the 7-piperazin-1-yl group.The two enantiomers were synthesized and tested for their antibacterial activities.Although no difference in in vitro antibacterial activities was observed, a minor difference in in vivo antibacterial activities was observed.However, they both exhibited similar pharmacological profiles.
