A series of ciprofloxacin-uracil conjugates 5a-t were synthesized and identified by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, mass spectroscopy and elemental analyses. The antibacterial results revealed that the new derivatives exhibited better activity against Gram-positive than the Gram-negative strains; most of the target compounds exhibited good activities against S. aureus ATCC 6538. Compounds 5b and 5g possess the highest activities with MICs of 1.25 and 2.37 µM, respectively, which are more potent than the parent drug ciprofloxacin, MIC, 7.58 µM. In addition, they also exhibited potent activities against MRSA AUMC 261 with MICs, 0.031 and 0.046 µM respectively, higher than ciprofloxacin with MIC, 0.57 µM. Moreover, compounds 5b and 5g showed potent inhibitory activities against DNA gyrase (IC50 = 1.72 and 5.72 µM) and topoisomerase IV (4.36 and 7.77 µM) compared to ciprofloxacin with IC50 values 0.66 and 8.16 µM, respectively. The molecular docking study revealed that compounds 5b and 5g may formed stable interaction with the active sites of DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV similar to ciprofloxacin. Hence, 5b and 5g are considered promising antibacterial candidated against MRSA AUMC 261 strains that requires further optimization.

D027081 DNA Gyrase A bacterial DNA topoisomerase II that catalyzes ATP-dependent breakage of both strands of DNA, passage of the unbroken strands through the breaks, and rejoining of the broken strands. Gyrase binds to DNA as a heterotetramer consisting of two A and two B subunits. In the presence of ATP, gyrase is able to convert the relaxed circular DNA duplex into a superhelix. In the absence of ATP, supercoiled DNA is relaxed by DNA gyrase. DNA Gyrase A Subunit,DNA Gyrase B Subunit,DNA-Gyrase,GyrA Protein,GyrB Protein
D027101 DNA Topoisomerase IV A bacterial DNA topoisomerase II that catalyzes ATP-dependent breakage of both strands of DNA, passage of the unbroken strands through the breaks, and rejoining of the broken strands. Topoisomerase IV binds to DNA as a heterotetramer consisting 2 parC and 2 parE subunits. Topoisomerase IV is a decatenating enzyme that resolves interlinked daughter chromosomes following DNA replication. parC Protein,parE Protein,Topo IV,Topoisomerase IV,Topoisomerase IV Subunit A,Topoisomerase IV Subunit B,parC Gene Product,parC Gene Product, Topo IV,parE Gene Product,parE Gene Product, Topo IV,Topoisomerase IV, DNA
