Finafloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antimicrobial agent from a new 8-cyano subclass, is most effective in slightly acidic environments (pH 5.0-6.0), a condition where other fluoroquinolones typically reduce in activity. It selectively targets bacterial type II topoisomerases, such as DNA gyrase and DNA topoisomerase IV, making it suitable for treating serious bacterial infections particularly in acidic contexts, including urinary tract infections (UTIs) and Helicobacter pylori infections.
S-Nitrosothiols (RSNOs) are a class of molecules that function as exogenous and endogenous nitric oxide (NO) donors. RSNOs found in vivo include proteins such as S-nitrosohemoglobin and S-nitrosoalbumin, as well as low molecular weight species such as S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) and S-nitrosocysteine (CysNO). CAY10563 is a member of a new class of S-nitrosothiol species that act as an NO donors under acidic conditions. It decomposes with a half-life of one minute in 0.1 M phosphate buffer, pH 5.0, at 37°C and relaxes phenylephrine-constricted rat aortic strips 59% and 16% at pH 6.0 and 7.4, respectively.

CAY10565 is a member of a new class of S-nitrosothiol species that act as NO donors under acidic conditions. It decomposes with a half-life of 130 minutes in 0.1 M phosphate buffer, pH 5.0, at 37°C and relaxes phenylephrine-constricted rat aortic strips 71% and 44% at pH 6.0 and 7.4, respectively.
