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

Biological Activity

Quinolone |
Pefloxacin mesylate 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 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].

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (2.91 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (12.5 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (2.91 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (12.5 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly:
It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
