Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2009 Mar 1;19(5):1496-8. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2009.01.007. Epub 2009 Jan 10.

Abstract

Two regioisomeric citrate-functionalized ciprofloxacin conjugates have been synthesized and their antimicrobial activities against a panel of clinically-relevant bacteria have been determined. Cellular uptake mechanisms were investigated using wild-type and ompF deletion strains of Escherichia coli K-12.
