Novel antibacterial active quinolone-fluoroquinolone conjugates and 2D-QSAR studies.

Novel, quinolone-fluoroquinolone conjugates 10a-f, 11a-f, 13a-f and 14a-f with amino acid linkers were synthesized in good yields utilizing benzotriazole chemistry. Antibacterial bioassay showed the synthesized bis-conjugates exhibit anti-bacterial properties comparable with the parent drugs.
