Is there a SAR for emergence of resistance ?
The "Mutant Prevention Concentration" *"When Mycobacterium bovis BCG and Staphylococcus aureus were
plated on agar containing increasing concentrations of fluoroquinolone,colony numbers exhibited a sharp drop, followed by a plateau and a secondsharp drop.
The plateau region correlated,vith the presence of first-step resistantmutants. Mutants were not recovered at concentrations above thoserequired for the second sharp drop, thereby defining a mutant preventionconcentration (MPC).
A C8-methoxy group lowered the MPC for an N-1-cyclopropylfluoroquinolone"

Rare side effects of fluoroquinolones:cardiac toxicity
Torsade de pointes: paroxysm of ventricular tachycardia in which theelectrocardiogram shows a steady undulation in the QRS axis in runs of 5 to20 beats with progressive changes in direction. It is a most severe type ofarythmia which may cause death. It is most often associated with andpreceeded by a prolongation of the QT interval.

Resistance: do not forget the correctdosing...
“Inadequate dosing of antibiotics is probably an important reason formisuse and subsequent risk of resistance. A recommendation onproper dosing regimens for different infections would be animportant part of a comprehensive strategy. The possibility toproduce such a dose recommendation based on pharmacokineticand pharmacodynamic considerations will be further investigated inone of the CPMP working parties…”

Consider local epidemiology, and do not believe it isalways a first choice…
The use of the FQ should focus on infections in which• there is a differential benefit over conventional agents
in terms of efficacy, safety, or cost;• in infections for which few alternative treatments exist,
or• against organisms towards wich they are sufficiently
active to prevent the rapid emergence of resistance.
