Pefloxacin mesylate dihydrate
Based on 3 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Pefloxacin (Pefloxacinium) mesylate dihydrate is a broad spectrum antibiotic. Pefloxacin mesylate dihydrate blocks DNA replication by inhibiting DNA gyrase. Pefloxacin mesylate dihydrate inhibits DNA relaxation catalyzed by topoisomerase I with an IC50 of 45 μg/mL. Pefloxacin mesylate dihydrate exhibits antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Bacteroides fragilis with MIC90s of 0.12, 4, and 16 mg/L, respectively. Pefloxacin mesylate dihydrate has anti-Plasmodium yoelii infection activity. Pefloxacin mesylate dihydrate increase UVA-induced edema and immunesuppression. Pefloxacin mesylate dihydrate can be used for infection studies.

Biological Activity

Quinolone |
Pefloxacin mesylate dihydrate inhibits 90% of strains such as Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae at ≤0.5 mg/L, 90% of Pseudomonas aeruginosa at 4 mg/L, and 90% of the Bacteroides fragilis group at 16 mg/L[1].
Pefloxacin (0.06-64 mg/L) mesylate dihydrate shows good activity against many bacteria such as staphylococci and E. coli, but poor activity against bacteria like Gardnerella vaginalis and Mobiluncus spp.[2].
Pefloxacin (5-60 μg/mL; 30 min) can inhibit the DNA relaxation reaction catalyzed by E. coli topoisomerase I, with an IC50 of 45 μg/mL[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Pefloxacin (200 mg/kg; s.c.; 2 h before and 5 h after UVA irradiation) can increase UVA-induced back skin swelling, the number of sunburn cells, reduce the number of epidermal Langerhans cells, and inhibit local contact hypersensitivity in mice[5].
Pefloxacin (up to 150 mg/kg; p.o.; daily) is ineffective against Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in mice[6].
Pefloxacin (40-240 mg/kg; s.c.; every 8-12 h; 3 days) can significantly reduce parasitemia and increase the survival rate of Swiss albino mice infected with Plasmodium yoelii, with superior efficacy to Ciprofloxacin (HY-B0356)[7].
