General description

Chemical structure: quinolone
Nalidixic acid is a quinolone and can block the activity of bacterial topoisomerase type II enzyme, thereby stopping bacterial replication. It is a potential antibacterial agent against Gram-negative bacteria than Gram-positive bacteria. Nalidixic acid has been studied in the management of urinary tract infections.

Application

Nalidixicacid has been used to treat the bacterial cultures to study itsresistance on Salmonella enterica and SalmonellaTyphimurium.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Nalidixic acid sodium salt is an inhibitor of bacterial DNA polymerase (DNA gyrase) and avian myeloblastoma virus reverse transcriptase. Inhibits nucleic acid and protein synthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
