Bisphosphonates conjugated to fluoroquinolone antibacterials through an intermediate carbon had better activity than conjugates lacking the carbon. Virtually all molar-based activity of these esterified bisphosphonate derivatives was identical to that of its parent. De-esterified free-acid forms retained good activity against most Gram-negative bacteria, but not against Gram-positives. A free-acid derivative remained bound to washed bone and completely inhibited Staphylococcus aureus growth. The more potent parent, ciprofloxacin, failed to bind significantly, and bacterial growth occurred.
