Description

The quinolones continue to make a significant contribution in the fight against community or hospital-acquired infections and add a new dimension of antibacterial therapy. This volume describes in detail the chemistry, mode of action and pharmacodynamics of quinolones. A lot of effort has been undertaken to optimize structure-activity relationships with the aim of producing more potent drugs with an optimal therapeutic index.
