Anti-Mycobacterium avium activity of quinolones: structure-activity relationship studies

Anti-Mycobacterium avium activity of quinolones: structure-activity relationship studies.

The structures and inhibitory activities of 88 quinolones, previously studied as potential in vitro inhibitors of 14 selected strains of Mycobacterium avium complex, were examined in an effort to identify a quinolone with optimal activity towards all strains. A MULTICASE structure-activity relationship analysis of the inhibitory activities of these 88 quinolones against 14 strains of M. avium w...

Anti-Mycobacterium avium activity of quinolones: in vitro activities.

The MICs of 88 quinolones against 14 selected reference and clinical strains of Mycobacterium avium-M. intracellular complex were determined. Agents tested included ciprofloxacin, sparfloxacin (PD 131501), and 86 other experimental quinolones. Test strains were selected to represent various susceptibilities to ciprofloxacin and other drug resistance profiles. MICs were determined by the microdi...

Novel N-2-(Furyl)-2-(chlorobenzyloxyimino) ethyl Piperazinyl Quinolones: Synthesis, Cytotoxic Evaluation and Structure-activity Relationship

Quinolone antibacterials are one of the most important classes of pharmacological agents known as potent inhibitors of bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV that efficiently inhibit DNA replication and transcription by generating several double-stranded DNA break. Some quinolone derivatives demonstrated inhibitory potential against eukaryote topoismarase II and substantial dose-dependent cy...
