Levofloxacin hydrochloride
Based on 41 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Levofloxacin hydrochloride ((-)-Ofloxacin hydrochloride) is an orally active broad-spectrum antibacterial agent with antioxidant and antibacterial activities. Levofloxacin hydrochloride upregulates TC synthesis-related genes and transport-related genes, reduces plasma PCSK9, inhibits GABAA receptors and mitochondrial complexes I/III, scavenges hydroxyl radicals and neutrophil-derived ROS, and inhibits NO metabolites and interferon-γ. Levofloxacin hydrochloride improves survival, alleviates lung injury, and reduces oxidative and inflammatory markers in influenza virus-infected mice. Levofloxacin hydrochloride inhibits lung cancer proliferation and xenograft tumor growth, and induces apoptosis and oxidative stress. Levofloxacin hydrochloride can be used in research on bacterial infection, influenza virus infection, atherosclerosis, and lung cancer.
