Description

Oxolinic acid is an antibiotic against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Oxolinic acid can be used for the research of acute and chronic urinary tract infections. Oxolinic acid is a DNA/RNA synthesis inhibitor. Oxolinic acid acts a dopamine uptake inhibitor and stimulants locomotor effect in mice[1][2][3].

IC50 & Target

Antimicrobial[1]

In Vitro

Oxolinic acid (2-5 ug/mL) inhibits 115 strains of E. coli[1].
Oxolinic acid (0-31 ug/mL) inhibits 94 % of the 44 strains of Proteus mirabilis [1].
Oxolinic acid (>5 ug/mL) inhibits all strains of Strept. Faecalis[1].
Oxolinic acid (>2 ug/mL) causes chromosomal DNA supercoiling to decrease in the two wild-type E. coli K-12 strains tested, DM4100 and NI747[2].
Oxolinic acid reduces chromosomal DNA supercoiling and inhibits RNA synthesis in E. coli[2].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
