Helicobacter pylori-colonized mongolian gerbils, method for preparation

8-Methoxy-quinolonecarboxylic acid derivatives of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl, a phenylalkyl or an ester residue hydrolyzable in the living body, R.sub.2 is a hydrogen atom or methyl and n is an integer of 1, optical isomers thereof, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof and hydrates thereof. The 8-methoxy-quinolonecarboxylic acid derivatives of the present invention have enforced and a wide range of in vitro and in vivo antibacterial effects against Gram-positive bacteria, while retaining a strong antibacterial effect against Gram-negative bacteria, that the conventional quinolonecarboxylic acid antibacterial agents have. In addition, the compounds of the present invention scarcely show problematic side-effects and are low toxic. Therefore, they are expected to show superior clinical effects as antibacterial agents.

8-methoxy-quinolonecarboxylic acid derivatives

A pyridine compound of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is a hydrogen, a halogen, an alkyl, an alkoxy or the like, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are each a hydrogen, a halogen or an alkyl, --P.dbd.Q-- is --CH.dbd.CH--, --N.dbd.CH-- or --CH.dbd.N--, A is an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom or N(R.sup.4) wherein R.sup.4 is hydrogen, alkyl or the like, n is 0, 1 or 2, B is S(O)p wherein p is 0, 1 or 2, D is a single bond, an alkylene or the like and E is an alkoxyalkyl or --N(R.sup.6)(R.sup.7), and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof have antibacterial activity against Helicobacter pylori, antiulcer activity, gastrointestinal cytoprotective activity, ulcer recurrence, relapse-preventive activity and gastric acid secretion-suppressive activity and are useful as pharmaceutical preparations.

Pharmaceutical use of pyridine compounds

A pyridine compound of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is a hydrogen, a halogen, an alkyl, an alkoxy or the like, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are each a hydrogen, a halogen or an alkyl, --P.dbd.Q-- is --CH.dbd.CH--, --N.dbd.CH-- or --CH.dbd.N--, A is an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom or N(R.sup.4) wherein R.sup.4 is hydrogen, alkyl or the like, n is 0, 1 or 2, B is S(O)p wherein p is 0, 1 or 2, D is a single bond, an alkylene or the like and E is an alkoxyalkyl or --N(R.sup.6)(R.sup.7), and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof have antibacterial activity against Helicobater pylori, antiulcer activity, gastrointestinal cytoprotective activity, ulcer recurrence, relapse-preventive activity and gastric acid secretion-suppressive activity and are useful as pharmaceutical preparations.

Pyridine compound and pharmaceutical compostions
