Mechanism of differential activities of ofloxacin enantiomers.
Ofloxacin, a potent quinolone antibacterial agent, has a tricyclic ring structure with a methyl group attached to the asymmetric carbon at the C-3 position on the oxazine ring. The S isomer (DR-3355) of ofloxacin has antibacterial activity up to 2 orders of magnitude greater than that of the R isomer (DR-3354). This differential antibacterial activity was not due to different drug transport mec...
متن کاملEnantioselective Extraction of Ofloxacin Enantiomers Using Ester Alcohol L-Tartarate as Chiral Selector
The distribution behavior of ofloxacin enantiomers was examined in the aqueous and organic solvent of a two-phase system containing chiral selector L-tartarate. The effect of extraction equilibrium time, buffer pH, organic solvents and length of alkyl chain of L-tartarate on the partition coefficients and enantioselectivity of racemic ofloxacin were investigated, respectively. The L-tartara...
متن کاملIn vitro and in vivo antibacterial activities of levofloxacin (l-ofloxacin), an optically active ofloxacin.
The antibacterial activity of levofloxacin was compared with those of ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and other antibiotics. In general, levofloxacin was equally active or up to fourfold more active than ofloxacin against all 801 organisms tested. Levofloxacin was twofold [corrected] more active than ciprofloxacin against Streptococcus pneumoniae and 2- to 4-fold more active than ciprofloxacin agains...
متن کاملStudy of Ofloxacin Enantiomers Dissolution from Selected Solid Dosage Forms Using High Performance Capillary Electrophoresis Method.
The commercially available coated tablets containing either racemic form of ofloxacin (Tarivid 200 mg, OfloHexal 200 mg and Ofloxacin-Ratiopharm 200 mg) or only levofloxacin S-(-)-isomer (Tavanic 250 mg) were examined. The aim of our study was to establish the kinetics of dissolution rate process of ofloxacin optical isomers (S-(-) and R-(+)-ofloxacin) from solid oral dosage forms using flow-th...
