CAS 106017-08-7: Rufloxacin hydrochloride
Description:Rufloxacin hydrochloride is a synthetic fluoroquinolone antibiotic characterized by its broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. It is primarily used to treat various bacterial infections, particularly those caused by Gram-negative and some Gram-positive organisms. The compound exhibits a mechanism of action that involves the inhibition of bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes critical for DNA replication and transcription. Rufloxacin hydrochloride is typically administered orally and is known for its favorable pharmacokinetic properties, including good absorption and distribution in body tissues. The substance is generally well-tolerated, although potential side effects may include gastrointestinal disturbances, central nervous system effects, and, in rare cases, tendon damage. Its chemical structure features a bicyclic core with a fluorine atom, contributing to its potency and resistance to certain bacterial efflux mechanisms. As with other antibiotics, appropriate use is essential to minimize the risk of developing antibiotic resistance. Rufloxacin hydrochloride is classified under the World Health Organization's list of essential medicines, highlighting its importance in treating infectious diseases.
