Product Information

• Name: 6,8-Difluoro-4-hydroxyquinoline-3-carboxylic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 6,8-Difluoro-4-hydroxyquinoline-3-carboxylic acid is a pyrrolidinyl quinolinecarboxylic acid that is structurally similar to ciprofloxacin. It inhibits the bacterial enzyme GyrA and GyrB, which are involved in DNA replication. 6,8-Difluoro-4-hydroxyquinoline-3-carboxylic acid has been shown to be effective against gram negative bacteria and can be used as an antibacterial agent. This drug also inhibits the synthesis of RNA by binding to the ribosome at the peptidyl transferase site and blocks protein synthesis, which leads to cell death by inhibiting the production of proteins necessary for cell division. 6,8-Difluoro-4-hydroxyquinoline-3-carboxylic acid is being investigated as a potential chemotherapeutic agent for cancer treatment due to its
