Grepafloxacin, a 5-methyl-7-piperazinyl-3"-methyl analogue of ciprofloxacin, was used to obtain stepwise-selected mutants of Streptococcus pneumoniae 7785. Analysis of the quinolone resistance-determining regions of the gyrA, gyrB, parC, and parE genes in these mutants revealed that gyrA mutations preceded those in parC. Given that ciprofloxacin (5-H,7-piperazinyl) and AM-1121 (5-H,7-piperazinyl-3"-methyl) both act through topoisomerase IV, we conclude that the 5-methyl group of grepafloxacin favors gyrase in S. pneumoniae.
格帕沙星是环丙沙星的5-甲基-7-哌嗪基-3''-甲基类似物,用于获得肺炎链球菌7785的逐步选择突变体。对这些突变体中gyrA、gyrB、parC和parE基因的喹诺酮耐药决定区进行分析,结果显示gyrA突变先于parC突变。鉴于环丙沙星(5-H,7-哌嗪基)和AM-1121(5-H,7-哌嗪基-3''-甲基)均通过拓扑异构酶IV发挥作用,我们得出结论,格帕沙星的5-甲基基团有利于肺炎链球菌中的gyrase。
