Abstract
DNA is a key target for anticancer and antimicrobial drugs. Assessing the bioactivity of compounds involves in silico and instrumental studies to determine their affinity for biomolecules like DNA. This study explores the potential of the switchSense technique in rapidly evaluating compound bioactivity towards DNA. By combining switchSense with computational methods and UV-Vis spectrophotometry, various bioactive compounds' interactions with DNA were analyzed. The objects of the study were: netropsin (as a model compound that binds in the helical groove), as well as derivatives of pyrazine (PTCA), sulfonamide (NbutylS), and anthraquinone (AQ-NetOH). Though no direct correlation was found between switchSense kinetics and binding modes, this research suggests the technique's broader utility in assessing new compounds' interactions with DNA. used as analytes whose interactions with DNA have not been yet fully described in the literature.

Abstract
This work identified a class of cyanomethylquinolones (CQs) and their carboxyl analogues as potential multitargeting antibacterial candidates. Most of the prepared compounds showed high antibacterial activities against most of the tested bacteria, exhibiting lower MIC values (0.125-2 μg/mL) than those of clinical norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and clinafloxacin. The low hemolysis, drug resistance, and cytotoxicity, as well as good predictive pharmacokinetics of active CQs and carboxyl analogues revealed their development potential. Furthermore, they could eradicate the established biofilm, facilitating bacterial exposure to these antibacterial candidates. These active compounds could induce bacterial death through multitargeting effects, including intercalating into DNA, up-regulating reactive oxygen species, damaging membranes directly, and impeding metabolism. Moreover, the highly active cyclopropyl CQ 15 exhibited more effective in vivo anti-MRSA potency than ciprofloxacin. These findings highlight the potential of CQs and their carboxyl analogues as multitargeting broad-spectrum antibacterial candidates for treating intractable bacterial infections.

Abstract
Ciprofloxacin is a widely used antibiotic in the fluoroquinolone class. It is widely acknowledged by various researchers worldwide, and it has been documented to have a broad range of other pharmacological activities, such as anticancer, antiviral, antimalarial activities, etc. Researchers have been exploring the synthesis of ciprofloxacin derivatives with enhanced biological activities or tailored capability to target specific pathogens. The various biological activities of some of the most potent and promising ciprofloxacin derivatives, as well as the synthetic strategies used to develop them, are thoroughly reviewed in this paper. Modification of ciprofloxacin via 4-oxo-3-carboxylic acid resulted in derivatives with reduced efficacy against bacterial strains. Hybrid molecules containing ciprofloxacin scaffolds displayed promising biological effects. The current review paper provides reported findings on the development of novel ciprofloxacin-based molecules with enhanced potency and intended therapeutic activities which will be of great interest to medicinal chemists.

Abstract
This study focuses on the prevalence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in various medical specimens. In addition, the investigates of this research shows the genetic analysis of pathogen-resistant isolates and chemical modifications to ciprofloxacin. A total of 225 specimens from men and women aged 30 to 60 were carefully collected and examined, including samples from wound, burn, urine, sputum, and ear samples. The data were obtained from AL Muthanna hospitals. PCR-RFLP and gene expression analysis were used to identify resistant strains and explore the genetic basis of antibiotic resistance. A ciprofloxacin derivative was synthesized and confirmed through FT-IR, 1H-NMR, and mass spectroscopy techniques then it was tested as antibacterial agent. Also, molecular docking study was conducted to predict the mechanism of action for the synthesized derivative. The results demonstrated that wound samples had the highest positive rate (33.7%) of P. aeruginosa isolates. The PCR-RFLP testing correlated ciprofloxacin resistance with gyrA gene mutation. Gene expression analysis revealed significant changes in the gyrA gene expression in comparison to the reference rpsL gene subsequent to exposure to the synthesized derivative. Furthermore, the molecular docking investigation illustrated the strategic positioning of the ciprofloxacin derivative within the DNA-binding site of the gyrA enzyme. The examination of genetic expression patterns manifested diverse effects attributed to the CIP derivative on P. aeruginosa, thus portraying it as a viable candidate in the quest for the development of novel antimicrobial agents. Ciprofloxacin derivative may offer new antimicrobial therapeutic options for treating Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in wound specimens, addressing resistance and gyrA gene mutations.

Abstract
The ESKAPE (Escherichia coli/E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus/S. aureus, Klebsiella pneumonia/K. pneumoniae, Acinetobacter Baumannii/A. baumannii, Pseudomonas aeroginosa/P. aeroginosa and Enterobacter spp.) pathogens, which could escape or evade common therapies through diverse antimicrobial resistance mechanisms and biofilm formation, are deemed as highly virulent bacteria responsible for life-threatening diseases, calling for novel chemotherapeutics. Quinolones including 2-quinolones and 4-quinolones have occupied a propitious place in drug design and development due to their excellent pharmacological profiles. Quinolones especially fluoroquinolones could inhibit the synthesis of nucleic acid of ESKAPE pathogens, leading to the rupture of bacterial chromosome. However, the resistance of ESKAPE pathogens to quinolones develops rapidly and spreads widely. Accordingly, it has become increasingly urgent to enhance the potency of quinolones against both drug-susceptible and drug-resistant ESKAPE pathogens. Quinolone hybrids can bind with different drug targets simultaneously and have been considered as useful prototypes to circumvent drug resistance. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current scenario (2018-present) of quinolone hybrids with potential antibacterial activity against ESKAPE pathogens, together with the structure-activity relationships and mechanisms of action to facilitate further rational design of more effective candidates.

New potent ciprofloxacin-uracil conjugates as DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV inhibitors against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Bioorg Med Chem 2022; 73:117004.

Abstract
A series of ciprofloxacin-uracil conjugates 5a-t were synthesized and identified by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, mass spectroscopy and elemental analyses. The antibacterial results revealed that the new derivatives exhibited better activity against Gram-positive than the Gram-negative strains; most of the target compounds exhibited good activities against S. aureus ATCC 6538. Compounds 5b and 5g possess the highest activities with MICs of 1.25 and 2.37 µM, respectively, which are more potent than the parent drug ciprofloxacin, MIC, 7.58 µM. In addition, they also exhibited potent activities against MRSA AUMC 261 with MICs, 0.031 and 0.046 µM respectively, higher than ciprofloxacin with MIC, 0.57 µM. Moreover, compounds 5b and 5g showed potent inhibitory activities against DNA gyrase (IC50 = 1.72 and 5.72 µM) and topoisomerase IV (4.36 and 7.77 µM) compared to ciprofloxacin with IC50 values 0.66 and 8.16 µM, respectively. The molecular docking study revealed that compounds 5b and 5g may formed stable interaction with the active sites of DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV similar to ciprofloxacin. Hence, 5b and 5g are considered promising antibacterial candidated against MRSA AUMC 261 strains that requires further optimization.

Abstract
Bacterial infection is amongst the most common diseases in community and hospital settings. Fluoroquinolones, exerting the antibacterial activity through binding to type II bacterial topoisomerase enzymes, DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, are mainstays of chemotherapy. At present, fluoroquinolones are the most valuable antibacterial agents used popularly. However, the emergence of more virulent and resistant pathogens by the development of either mutated DNA-binding proteins or efflux pump mechanism for fluoroquinolones results in an urgent demand to develop new fluoroquinolones to withstand the drug resistance and to obtain a broader spectrum of activity. This review aims to outline the recent advances of fluoroquinolone derivatives with antibacterial potential and to summarize the structure-activity relationship (SAR) so as to provide an insight for rational design of more active candidates, covering articles published between January 2018 and June 2021.
