    Pefloxacin

    Pefloxacin is broad-spectrum, synthetic, third-generation fluoroquinolone antibiotic developed in 1979.  It is an analog of Norfloxacin. It inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase and Topoisomerase IV, which disrupts bacterial cell division.  Novel derivatives of Pefloxacin were found to have anti-cancer properties.  Quinolone-topoisomerase biology is a useful model to understand host-parasite interactions and investigate manipulation of the bacterial chromosome by topoisomerases.

    Pefloxacin is slightly soluble in aqueous solution.
