CAS 141725-88-4: Cetefloxacin

Description: Cetefloxacin is a synthetic fluoroquinolone antibiotic characterized by its broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. It is primarily used in veterinary medicine for the treatment of bacterial infections in animals. 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. Cetefloxacin is known for its effectiveness against a variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, making it a valuable option in managing infections. The substance is typically administered orally or via injection, depending on the specific formulation and intended use. Its pharmacokinetic properties include good absorption and distribution in tissues, although it may be subject to resistance development in certain bacterial strains. Safety profiles indicate potential side effects, which can include gastrointestinal disturbances and, in rare cases, effects on cartilage development in young animals. As with all antibiotics, responsible use is essential to mitigate the risk of resistance and ensure continued efficacy in treating infections.
