Abstract
Here, we report the antimycobacterial activity of NCX 976, a new molecule obtained adding a NO moiety to the fluoroquinolone ciprofloxacin, on Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strain, both in a cell-free model and in infected human macrophages. Unlike unaltered ciprofloxacin, NCX976 displayed a marked activity also at low-nanomolar concentrations.Entities:
