Quinolone is a major class of antibacterial drug. Quinolones or fluoroquinolones are synthetic antibacterial drugs that show a specific function of inhibiting the nucleic acid synthesis. Depending on their bactericidal properties, quinolones are efficient against bacterial infections of the sinuses, lungs, skin, stomach, and urinary tract. These drugs can interfere with the human DNA synthesis, as humans have the same basic nucleic acid constituents as those of the bacteria. Quinolones exhibit rapid bactericidal activity, wherein they easily infiltrate the bacterial cell membrane and reach the DNA where they bind to bacterial topoisomerases such as DNA gyrase, thus inhibiting the bacterial nucleic acid synthesis. The most extensively used quinolones are norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin Other crucial quinolones include ofloxacin, enoxacin, lomefloxacin, levofloxacin, trovafloxacin, and gatifloxacin.
