Abstract excerpt
Quinazoline-2,4-diones, such as PD 0305970, are new DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV (topo IV) inhibitors with potent activity against gram-positive pathogens, including quinolone-resistant isolates. The mechanistic basis of dione activity vis-à-vis quinolones is not understood. We present evidence for Streptococcus pneumoniae gyrase and topo IV that PD 0305970 and quinolones interact differently with the enzyme...
