Photophysics and photochemistry of fluoroquinolones
Abstract
The photobehavior of fluoroquinolone antibiotics, one of the most successful classes of drugs in therapeutic applications, has recently been the object of increasing interest due to the finding of their phototoxic and photocarcinogenic properties. The main results obtained for a series of structurally related, representative fluoroquinolone drugs is reviewed. Both activation of oxygen and various degradation pathways have been identified and the effects of medium and structure have been rationalized. The results can help in the understanding of the photochemistry occurring in biological environments and in the assessing of the correlation between structural characteristics and biological photodamage.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
