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.
Xinjiachalcone A is a natural product isolated from Glycyrrhiza inflata Batalin. Xinjiachalcone A shows both a low MIC and a strong bactericidal activity against H. pylori(MIC : 12.5 to 50 µM, seventeen H. pylori strains).
Spirolaxine, a natural product isolated from Sporotrichum laxum ATCC 15155, has shown a variety of biological activities including promising anti-Helicobacter pylori property.
4-Amino-6-chloro-1,3-benzenedisulfonamide is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor.1 Formulations containing this compound are diuretics.2 4-Amino-6-chloro-1,3-benzenedisulfonamide is detected as a hydrolysis product of chlorothiazide in the urine.2 Diuretics, including chlorothiazide, have been abused as performance-enhancing drugs and masking agents in sports doping.3References1.

Actinopyrone A is a pyrone isolated from S. pactum with diverse biological activities. It has selective and potent antimicrobial activity against H. pylori (MIC = 0.1 ng mL) with no activity against other Gram-negative bacteria including E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, and B. fragilis. Actinopyrone A also mildly inhibits growth of Gram-positive bacteria and dermatophytes with MIC values ranging from <6.25 to 25 μg mL. Intravenous administration of actinopyrone A (30 μg kg) increases coronary blood flow in dogs by 196.2%.
