To study the synthesis and antibacterial activity of ciprofloxacin derivatives. Ciprofloxacin derivatives were synthesized primarily from 2-methyl-5-nitroimidazol and ciprofloxacin through nucleophilic substitution. The antibacterial activity of the synthesized compounds were tested. Nine new compounds were synthesized. The structure of the
