Antibacterial activity of quinolone-macrocycle conjugates

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2003 May 19;13(10):1635-8. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(03)00285-3.

Abstract

Novel quinolone-macrocycle conjugates displayed submicromolar antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacterial strains. An analogous open-chain structure was not active at 100 microM against the same pathogenic strains.
