title: Mechanism of action of the des-F(6) quinolone BMS-284756 measured by supercoiling inhibition and cleavable complex assays.
abstract: BMS-284756 (T-3811ME), a novel des-F(6) quinolone, was tested in the supercoiling inhibition and cleavable complex assays against Escherichia coli DNA gyrase, a target of quinolones. The results suggest that BMS-284756 has the same mechanism of action against DNA gyrase as other quinolones and a similar level of potency.
