Flumequine is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. It binds to the enzyme's active site, preventing the formation of covalent bonds with the DNA. Flumequine also has a high affinity for picric acid, which is used in analytical chemistry to determine phosphatase activity. Flumequine has been used as a ligand in crystallography studies to identify phosphatases and as an algal antenna molecule. Furthermore, flumequine has shown luminescence properties due to its ability to emit light when excited by ultraviolet radiation or laser pulses.
