This medication works by binding and creating cross-links in bacterial DNA which prevents its proper functioning. This creates mutations in the bacterial codons causing the formation of unnatural proteins resulting in bacterial cell death.

This medication also works by entering into the organism and forms the free radical. A concentration gradient is created in the organism due to alteration in the molecule and promotes the influx of the molecule. Thus, the free radical and the altered molecule will interfere with the DNA synthesis and stops the growth of the organism.
