Molecular Formula: C18H20FN3O4
Molecular weight: 361.4 g/mol
CAS No: 82419-36-1
General Properties:
Ofloxacin is a racemate comprising equimolar amounts of levofloxacin and dextrofloxacin. It is a synthetic fluoroquinolone antibacterial agent which inhibits the supercoiling activity of bacterial DNA gyrase, halting DNA replication. It has a role as a DNA synthesis inhibitor, an antiinfective agent, an antibacterial drug, an EC 5.99.1.3 [DNA topoisomerase (ATP-hydrolysing)] inhibitor and a topoisomerase IV inhibitor. It is a quinolone antibiotic, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic and a racemate. It contains a levofloxacin and a dextrofloxacin.
A synthetic fluoroquinolone (fluoroquinolones) antibacterial agent that inhibits the supercoiling activity of bacterial DNA gyrase, halting DNA replication.
Ofloxacin is a Quinolone Antimicrobial.
Indication:
Ofloxacin Infusion is an antibiotic, used in the treatment of bacterial infections. It is also used in treating infections of the urinary tract, nose, throat, skin and soft tissues, and lungs (pneumonia). It cures the infection by stopping further growth of the causative microorganisms.
