Merafloxacin (Cat No.: M007010) is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic known for its broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, particularly against Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacteria. It works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes critical for DNA replication and cell division. Although not widely used clinically, merafloxacin has attracted research interest for its potential antiviral properties, including inhibition of viral RNA editing. Its chemical structure contributes to strong binding affinity and intracellular penetration, making it a candidate for drug development in infectious disease and virology research.
