Flumequine (CAS 42835-25-6)
QUICK LINKS
Flumequine interacts with cellular components by inhibiting the activity of bacterial DNA gyrase, an enzyme involved in DNA replication and repair. This leads to the disruption of bacterial DNA synthesis and ultimately results in cell death. Flumequine targets the A subunit of DNA gyrase, preventing the enzyme from introducing negative supercoils into the bacterial DNA. As a result, the normal cellular processes of the bacteria are disrupted, leading to their inability to proliferate and causing their eventual demise. This mechanism of action makes flumequine an effective antimicrobial agent against a wide range of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. By targeting the DNA gyrase enzyme, flumequine exerts its influence on cellular processes, ultimately leading to the inhibition of bacterial growth and the resolution of bacterial infections.
