Sparfloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibacterial agent with activity against a broad range of Gram-negative and Gram-positive organisms including Streptococcus pneumoniae, one of the main pathogens in community-acquired pneumonia. In this infection, sparfloxacin has shown efficacy similar to that of amoxicillin

Novel Gram-positive (Gram+) antibacterial compounds consisting of a DNA polymerase IIIC (pol IIIC) inhibitor covalently connected to a topoisomerase/gyrase inhibitor are described. Specifically, 3-substituted 6-(3-ethyl-4-methylanilino)uracils (EMAUs) in which the 3-substituent is a fluoroquinolone moiety (FQ) connected by various linkers were
