Object To provide novel quinolonecarboxylic acid compounds serving as safe, strong antibacterial agents that are effective against drug-resistant bacteria that are less susceptible to conventional antibacterial agents.n nSolving Means There are provided 7-(4-substituted-3-cyclopropylaminomethylpyrrolidinyl)quinolonecarboxylic acid derivatives (such as 1-cyclopropyl-7-[(3S,4S)-3-cyclopropylaminomethyl-4-fluoro-1-pyrrolidinyl]-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-8-methoxy-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid) that exhibit strong antibacterial activity against gram-positive bacteria, such as MRSA, PRSP and VRE, while being safe. The compounds are shown by the following general formula (I): |
