Bacterial Activity of Organotin Polymers Derived from Ciprofloxacin, Cephalexin, Norfloxacin, and Acyclovir

摘要

We have been involved in the synthesis of organotin-containing polymers as drugs.Much of this work focused on their use as new generation antibacterial agents and in the war against cancer.Recently, we also began testing some of these as antiviral agents.While we recently reported the synthesis of organotin polymers derived from reaction with norfloxacin , acyclovir, cephalexin, and ciprofloxacin we have not yet reported any of their antibacterial activity. The current paper describes preliminary bacterial results for these compounds.
