Finafloxacin
- ... that Xtoro likes dropping acid and giving bad trips to its enemies? Source: "The compound exhibits optimal efficacy in slightly acidic environments (pH 5.0–6.0), under which other fluoroquinolones lose activity." (McKeage, Kate (2015). "Finafloxacin: First Global Approval". Drugs. 75: 687–693. doi:10.1007/s40265-015-0384-z.)
- ALT1:... that bacteria shouldn't drop acid while taking finafloxacin? Source: "The compound exhibits optimal efficacy in slightly acidic environments (pH 5.0–6.0), under which other fluoroquinolones lose activity." (McKeage, Kate (2015). "Finafloxacin: First Global Approval". Drugs. 75: 687–693. doi:10.1007/s40265-015-0384-z.)
- ALT2:... that finafloxacin is a new fluoroquinolone antibiotic that works best with acid? Source: "The compound exhibits optimal efficacy in slightly acidic environments (pH 5.0–6.0), under which other fluoroquinolones lose activity." (McKeage, Kate (2015). "Finafloxacin: First Global Approval". Drugs. 75: 687–693. doi:10.1007/s40265-015-0384-z.)
- ALT3:... that finafloxacin is a new treatment for swimmer's ear?
- Comment: ALT0-1 are more silly. ALT2 is more serious. All are referencing the same thing. I still have <5 DYK credits.

@Andrew D.: Thank you kindly for your review! I've tried to clean up some of the jargon in the article and wikified some things. Thank you for pointing out the weasel wording; I've specified the referenced source in that sentence. I've added a picture as well, as requested! (: In terms of the interesting portion, I suppose it is a bit forced, haha. I mean, it's a fact that it works best under acidic conditions, but what's disputed is whether that will translate to clinical efficacy dealing with infections in acidic places (e.g. stomach). From a pharmacological stand point, I think the most notable thing about finafloxacin is its difference from other fluoroquinolones, but perhaps something about swimmer's ear would be accessible to a larger audience. I've added an ALT3. ―Biochemistry🙴❤ 01:37, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
For ALT3, while I appreciate the attempt at humor in the other hooks, ALT3 seems more straightforward. Article was long enough at time of nomination, it is well-sourced, the issues above appear to have been resolved, no apparent copyvios, hook is cited, and you're all set on the QPQ side.
