Roles Classification
Biological Role(s): EC 5.99.1.3 [DNA topoisomerase (ATP-hydrolysing)] inhibitor
A topoisomerase inhibitor that inhibits DNA topoisomerase (ATP-hydrolysing), EC 5.99.1.3 (also known as topoisomerase II and as DNA gyrase), which catalyses ATP-dependent breakage of both strands of DNA, passage of the unbroken strands through the breaks, and rejoining of the broken strands.
topoisomerase IV inhibitor
A topoisomerase inhibitor that inhibits DNA topoisomerase IV, which catalyses ATP-dependent breakage of both strands of DNA, passage of the unbroken strands through the breaks, and rejoining of the broken strands.
DNA synthesis inhibitor
Any substance that inhibits the synthesis of DNA.
antibacterial drug
A drug used to treat or prevent bacterial infections.
antimicrobial agent
A substance that kills or slows the growth of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoans.
(via quinolone antibiotic )
(via heterocyclic antibiotic )
(via fluoroquinolone antibiotic )
Application(s): antiinfective agent
A substance used in the prophylaxis or therapy of infectious diseases.
antibacterial drug
