Microwave assisted synthesis of 4-quinolones and N,N′-diarylureas
4-Quinolinones are an important class of alkaloids, widely used as conventional drugs to treat various infectious diseases. In this study, we report the synthesis of 4-quinolones in one step, under microwave irradiation and with diphenyl ether as a ...

Elimination of plasmids by new 4-quinolones
Nalidixic acid and six of the new 4-quinolones eliminated F'lac and various native R plasmids from Escherichia coli at one half or one quarter the MIC. Four of eight plasmids tested were cured by all derivatives, with frequencies from 10 to 98%. Quinolones did not eliminate all plasmids that were cured by novobiocin, and vice versa.

Molecular details of quinolone–DNA interactions: solution structure of an unusually stable DNA duplex with covalently linked nalidixic acid residues and non-covalent complexes derived from it [PDF]
Quinolones are antibacterial drugs that are thought to bind preferentially to disturbed regions of DNA. They do not fall into the classical categories of intercalators, groove binders or electrostatic binders to the backbone.

Frequency and antimicrobial susceptibility of Shigella species isolated in Children Medical Center Hospital, Tehran, Iran, 2001-2006 [PDF]
Appropriate antimicrobial treatment of shigellosis depends on identifying its changing resistance pattern over time. We evaluated 15,255 stool culture submitted from July 2001 to June 2006 to the Laboratory of Children Medical Center Hospital.

Cinnamic‐hydroxamic‐acid derivatives (CHADs) are identified as novel inhibitors of the bacterial nucleoid‐associated protein HU, exhibiting potent antibacterial, anti‐biofilm (both inhibition and eradication), and DNA relaxation (anti‐supercoiling) activities. Moreover, CHADs demonstrate strong synergistic effects with multiple antibiotics.

Direct Optofluidic Measurement of the Lipid Permeability of Fluoroquinolones. [PDF]
Quantifying drug permeability across lipid membranes is crucial for drug development. In addition, reduced membrane permeability is a leading cause of antibiotic resistance in bacteria, and hence there is a need for new technologies that can quantify ...
