“…Fluoroquinolone antibiotics (FQs) are a class of synthetic antimicrobial agents with a fluorine atom present within their chemical structure, typically attached to a quinolone ring. They possess potent antibacterial activity and have been widely used in clinical medicine to combat a broad spectrum of bacterial infections 1 . FQs are appreciated for their broad spectrum of action.…”

“…The introduction of fluorine into organic molecules is of utmost importance in the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Since 2016, up to 44% of FDA-approved small-molecule APIs per year contained at least one fluorine atom. It is estimated that a drug containing a fluorine atom is 10 times more likely to be successful, as fluorine provides an improved metabolic stability, better physiochemical properties, and enhanced binding interactions. , Fluorine is also used in positron emission tomography (PET) as a radiopharmaceutical due to the relatively long half-life of the 18 F isotope . In particular, the CF 2 moiety is a very special motif in biologically active molecules, as the beneficial effects mentioned earlier are potentially doubled with the presence of two fluorine atoms on the same carbon.…”
