General Description

  • Ofloxacin is a synthetic fluoroquinolone antibiotic that is an analog of nalidixic acid
  • Ofloxacin can directly interact with pneumococcal autolysin (LytA) at its choline binding domain, thus inhibiting the ability of LytA to degrade the pneumococcal cell wall
  • Ofloxacin is racemic and its (S)-enantiomer is levofloxacin

Applications

  • Ofloxacin may be used in pharmacokinetic laboratory studies and high-throughput drug screens
  • The DNA and protein-binding capabilities of ofloxacin have been studied in the laboratory
RUO – Research Use Only
