Quinolones
Fluoroquinolone
(1970’s)
- Fluorine addition at C 6
- increased activity against
the DNA gyrase
- increased penetration into
the bacterial cell
Ciprofloxacin introduced
Piperazine group was added to C-7
Improved gram -ve & +ve coverage
Better serum and tissue levels
1st quinolone to be used for
conditions other then UTI’s
