Abstract
The new quinolone WIN-57273 was shown to inhibit Staphylococcus aureus beta-lactamase activity noncompetitively in vitro with an apparent Ki value of 0.5 mM. MICs of penicillin G for a highly quinolone-resistant, beta-lactamase-negative strain in the presence of exogenous beta-lactamase decreased considerably when subinhibitory concentrations of WIN-57273 were added. Furthermore, the attachment transpeptidase reaction, investigated on whole cells of S. aureus, was impeded by WIN-57273 concentrations of greater than or equal to 30 microM. While these interactions suggest a novel mechanism of action for this compound, they are probably not relevant to the overall antibacterial potency of WIN-57273.Entities:
