Photopharmacology holds huge potential for the permanent (long-term) eradication of antibiotic resistance by the application of photoswitchable antibiotics. To construct such antibiotics, various methods have been employed to modify known antibiotics with photoswitches, such that the irradiated state shows activity comparable to or higher than that of the parent antibiotic and that a large activity difference between irradiated and nonirradiated states is achieved. However, most of those methods are ineffective when dealing with more than one drug with dissimilar structures. Here, we have demonstrated a new approach, in which two pharmacophores, one being a photoswitch, are covalently linked via a spacer of variable lengths, leading to a set of azopyrazole-norfloxacin antibiotic hybrids. All compounds showed a high degree of bidirectional photoisomerization, long thermal cis half-lives, and excellent photoresistance. Notably, the hybrid with an optimal four-carbon spacer length enabled the irradiated state to become 12-fold more potent than its nonirradiated state without losing much antimicrobial activity of norfloxacin. Only Gram-positive bacteria were found to be sensitive to this hybrid, and the full antibacterial potency of its irradiated state was found to be retained for nearly 24 h.
