Merafloxacin（Cat No.:I044458）is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that functions by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes essential for DNA replication, transcription, and repair. Its broad-spectrum antibacterial activity makes it effective against a variety of Gram-negative and Gram-positive pathogens. In addition to its antibacterial properties, Merafloxacin has gained interest in recent research for its ability to inhibit programmed ribosomal frameshifting in viruses such as SARS-CoV-2, potentially disrupting viral protein synthesis. This dual role positions Merafloxacin as a valuable compound in both antimicrobial and antiviral research and drug development.
