Description
Ciprofloxacin, a potent broad-spectrum antibiotic from the fluoroquinolone class, is widely utilized in treating diverse bacterial infections. Its effectiveness stems from a multi-step mechanism of action. First, it easily penetrates bacterial cell membranes, binding to receptors on DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV enzymes crucial for cell wall synthesis and DNA replication. Next, Ciprofloxacin inhibits DNA gyrase, preventing the formation of the DNA cleavable complex, thereby impeding DNA replication and repair.
