Highest development stage: Phase 1

Development status: Inactive

Gram-positive activity

Mechanism of Action/Target pathogen: Binds to type II topoisomerases, gyrase and topoisomerase IV and thus, inhibits DNA cleavage and ligation reactions. It kills bacterial cells by increasing the concentration of enzyme–DNA cleavage complexes, thereby inhibiting cell replication. Mainly active against Gram-positive bacteria.

Reason dropped: Discontinued for resistance issues
