Pharmacology
Indication Nitroxoline is an antibiotic agent.
Mechanism of action This drug may also have antitumor activity by inhibition of ype 2 methionine aminopeptidase (MetAP2) protein which is involved in angiogenesis. Its antibacterial activity may stem from the metal ion complexation vital for bacterial growth.
