BINDING OF A QUINOLONE ANTIBIOTIC TO BACTERIAL PORIN OmpF IV BINDING OF A QUINOLONE ANTIBIOTIC TO BACTERIAL PORIN OmpF 1. Introduction Fluoroquinolones (quinolones) have been shown to present broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and are currently one <strong>of</strong> the most successful classes <strong>of</strong> drugs. They are reported as relatively well tolerated drugs <strong>with</strong> reasonably few undesirable effects (Albini and Monti, 2003; Stahlmann and Lode, 1999), and as a consequence their therapeutic application is increasing. The antibiotic activity <strong>of</strong> quinolones is the outcome <strong>of</strong> inhibition <strong>of</strong> a series <strong>of</strong> important enzymes for chromosome function and topology (homologous type II topoisomerases, DNA gyrase, and DNA topoisomerase IV) (Pestova et al., 2000). First generation quinolones (nalidixic acid) were used in the treatment <strong>of</strong> infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria. More recently, new derivatives were developed <strong>with</strong> enhanced antibiotic activity against Gram-positive bacteria, namely Streptococus pneumoniae, responsible for infections in the respiratory system and other pathologies (Quiniliani et al., 1999). Some <strong>of</strong> the new generation quinolones are also apparently effective against multidrug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis and were shown to be useful in the treatment <strong>of</strong> AIDS patients infected <strong>with</strong> this pathogen (Houston and Farming, 1994; Hooper and Wolfson, 1995). These bacteria are resistant to a wide range <strong>of</strong> aggressive agents (acid/alcohol) due to the presence <strong>of</strong> a complex permeability barrier (Nikaido et al., 1993). The possible strategies for quinolones entry through the outer and inner <strong>membrane</strong>s <strong>of</strong> bacteria are via porin channels (Dechené et al., 1990; Chevalier et al., 2000), or hydrophobic diffusion through the lipid bilayer. The porin pathway is 107
