Thiolated fluoroquinolones were synthesized from ciprofloxacin and evaluated for antimicrobial activity against a panel of pathogenic bacteria. Gram-positive species including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) exhibited the highest level of increased sensitivity toward ciprofloxacin bound with a N-propylthio substituent. Evidence was found that the antibiotics form disulfides with
