Delafloxacin is a novel fluoroquinolone antibiotic, differentiated from other on-market fluoroquinolones by the absence of a protonatable substituent conferring a weakly acidic character to the molecule. This property results in increased intracellular penetration and enhanced bactericidal activity under acidic conditions.
