Abstract

Use of a compound for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of a bacterial infection provided that the bacterial infection is other than a Mycobacterial infection, said compound being a compound of formula (I) a pharmaceutically acceptable acid or base addition salt, a quaternary amine, a stereochemically isomeric form, a tautomeric form or a N-oxide form thereof, wherein Ris hydrogen, halo, haloalkyl, cyano, hydroxy, Ar, Het, alkyl, alkyloxy, alkylthio, alkyloxyalkyl, alkylthioalkyl, Ar-alkyl or di(Ar)alkyl; p is 1 to 3; s is 0 to 4; Ris hydrogen; halo; alkyl; hydroxy; mercapto; optionally substituted alkyloxy; alkyloxyalkyloxy; alkylthio; mono or di(alkyl)amino wherein alkyl may optionally be substituted; Ar; Het or a radical of formula Ris alkyl, Ar, Ar-alkyl, Het or Het-alkyl; q is 0 to 4; Rand Reach independently are hydrogen, alkyl or benzyl; or Rand Rmay be taken together including the N to which they are attached; Ris hydrogen, halo, haloalkyl, hydroxy, Ar, alkyl, alkyloxy, alkylthio, alkyloxyalkyl, alkylthioalkyl, Ar-alkyl or di(Ar)alkyl; or two vicinal Rradicals may be taken together to form together with the phenyl ring to which they are attached a naphthyl; r is 1 to 5; Ris hydrogen, alkyl, Ar or Het; Ris hydrogen, alkyl, hydroxyl, aminocarbonyl, mono- or di(alkyl)aminocarbonyl, Ar, Het, alkyl substituted with one or two Het, alkyl substituted with one or two Ar, Het-C(═O)— or Ar—C(═O)—; provided that when the Rbearing radical is placed in position 3 of the quinoline moiety; Ris placed in position 4 and Ris placed in position 2 and represents hydrogen, hydroxy, mercapto, alkyloxy, alkyloxyalkyloxy, alkylthio, mono or di(alkyl)amino or a radical of formula then s is 1 to 4.
