Sparfloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibacterial agent with activity against a broad range of Gram-negative and Gram-positive organisms including Streptococcus pneumoniae, one of the main pathogens in community-acquired pneumonia. In this infection, sparfloxacin has shown efficacy similar to that of amoxicillin

The MICs and MBCs of the new difluorinated quinolone drug sparfloxacin against type strains belonging to 21 species of mycobacteria were screened. The MICs and MBCs were within the range of 0.1 to 2.0 and 0.1 to 4.0 micrograms/ml, respectively

Members of the fluoroquinolone class are being actively evaluated for inclusion in tuberculosis chemotherapy regimens, and we sought to determine the best in vitro and pharmacodynamic predictors of in vivo efficacy in mice. MICs for Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv were 0.1

Fluoroquinolones are poorly active against enterococci. Recently, plasmid-borne resistance to fluoroquinolones due to the qnr gene was reported in members of the Enterobacteriaceae family. The gene encodes a pentapeptide repeat protein that protects DNA gyrase from inhibition by fluoroquinolones. We

Ciprofloxacin (CP), an antibiotic has been shown to have antiproliferative and apoptotic activities in several cancer cell lines. Moreover, several reports have highlighted the interest of increasing the lipophilicity to improve the antitumor efficacy. These studies have led us to
