Abstract

1-Hydroxybisphosphonate derivatives of ciprofloxacin, gatifloxacin and moxifloxacin have been synthesized using Cu(I) catalyzed azide-alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction. The 1,2,3-triazol linked hydroxybisphosphonate derivative of ciprofloxacin exhibited antibacterial activity comparable to the parent antibiotic and all fluoroquinolone-bisphosphonates displayed osteotropic properties in a bone model.
