Nalidixic Acid Sodium, CulturePure® is a synthetic 1,8-naphthyridone antibiotic similar in structure and mechanism to quinolones, the commercial preparation of which was developed by Sanofi Aventis. The product is commonly used as a selective agent in many isolation media. It has a limited bacteriocidal spectrum and is similar in structure and mechanism to quinolones, with a 1,8-naphthyridine nucleus containing 2 nitrogen atoms (unlike quinoline that contains a single nitrogen atom).
