A 65282 is an antibacterial isothiazoloquinolone. It induces considerable DNA breakage mediated by calf thymus topoisomerase II. A 65282 is a potent inhibitor of the P4-unknotting reaction.
Uses
A-65282 is an antibacterial agent. A-65282 inhibits P4 DNA unknotting with an IC50 value of 8 μg/mL. A 65281 induces DNA breakage mediated by calf thymus topoisomerase II[1].
