The Assessment of Cytotoxicity, Apoptosis Inducing Activity and Molecular Docking of a new Ciprofloxacin Derivative in Human Leukemic Cells.

The fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics includes derivatives of the drug ciprofloxacin. These substances have recently been advocated for the treatment of cancer. In the current study, we examined the cytotoxicity and apoptosis-inducing potential of a novel synthetic ciprofloxacin derivative in the human myeloid leukemia KG1-a cell line.
