Abstract
Lomefloxacin (NY-198) [(±)-1-ethyl-6, 8-difluoro-1, 4-dihydro-7-(3-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid hydrochloride] strongly inhibited the growths of not only Gramnegative Escherichia coli but Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus.
In vivo and in vitro experiments showed deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis was specifically inhibited by this drug in E. coli.
