Abstract: The emergence and wide-spread of drug-resistant bacteria including multi-drug

approaches. This review aims to summarize the recent advances made towards the discovery of
4-quinolone hybrids as potential antibacterial agents as well as their structure-activity relationship

Bacterial infections, which represent a significant health threat throughout the world,
are responsible for the majority of hospital-acquired infections, resulting in extensive
mortality and burden on global healthcare systems [1]. The most common pathogens
in clinical settings are Gram-positive (including Staphylococcus aureus/S. aureus,
Staphylococcus epidermidis/S. epidermidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae/S. pneumoniae,
PT
as well as enterococci such as Enterococcus faecalis/E. faecalis and Enterococcus
faecium/E. faecium) and Gram-negative (includes Enterobacteriaceae such as

Escherichia coli/E. coli and Klebsiella, Pseudomonas aeruginosa/P. aeruginosa,
Chlamydophila pneumonia, Mycoplasma pneumonia, Legionella pneumophila and
SC
Acinetobacter) bacteria, which are capable of causing serious and even fatal infections
[2,3]. Even worse, the emergence and widely spread of resistance to Gram-positive
U
and Gram-negative bacteria as well as pathogens that are resistant to all current

therapeutic options, due to the long-term, broad, inappropriate use and even abuse of
antibiotics have already been identified and are associated with considerable mortality

[4]. Thus, it’s imperative to develop new agents with great potency against both
drug-sensitive and drug-resistant pathogens. In spite of a variety of compounds are

AC
various bacterial infections including upper and lower respiratory infections, and
some skin, bone, soft tissue infections as well as community acquired pneumonia
[7,8]. Besides their typical antibacterial activity, 4-quinolones also displayed diverse
atypical biological profiles such as anti-tumor, anti-tubercular, anti-HIV and
anti-malarial activities, and the atypical biological prosperities continue to expand

In spite of great advances that have been achieved for the development of
4-quinolones in the last 5 decades, the resistance of bacteria to 4-quinolones develops
rapidly and spreads widely throughout the world, creating urgent needs to develop
new antibacterial agents.
There are two main strategies to seek for novel 4-quinolone antibacterials: the ideal
PT
approach is to identify new structure compounds with a novel action mechanism, but
this strategy has been met with little success [21]; the practical one is to synthesize
RI
new analogues or modify existing drugs with limited or without cross-resistance to
existing agents [21]. Molecular hybridization, which is based on the incorporation of
SC
two or more pharmacophores into a single molecule, may provide novel candidates
have complimentary activities and/or multiple pharmacological targets and/or one part
U
can counterbalance the side effects caused by another part [9]. Obviously, this strategy
AN
represents an encouraging approach on the development of new agents with potential
therapeutic application [12-22].

Numerous 4-quinolone hybrids have been developed in the last 30 years, and some of
D
them are under clinical trial [2,3]. This review aims to outline the recent advances of
4-quinolone hybrids as potential antibacterials and summarize the structure-activity
