CAS 210353-53-0: Gemifloxacin mesylate
Description:Gemifloxacin mesylate is a synthetic fluoroquinolone antibiotic that exhibits broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. It is primarily used to treat respiratory tract infections, including pneumonia and bronchitis, by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, which are essential for bacterial DNA replication and transcription. The substance is characterized by its solubility in water and organic solvents, which facilitates its absorption and bioavailability. Gemifloxacin mesylate has a favorable pharmacokinetic profile, allowing for once-daily dosing. Its chemical structure includes a bicyclic core with a fluorine atom, contributing to its potency against a variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The mesylate salt form enhances its stability and solubility. Common side effects may include gastrointestinal disturbances and potential effects on the central nervous system. As with other fluoroquinolones, caution is advised regarding its use in certain populations, such as those with a history of tendon disorders or myasthenia gravis. Overall, gemifloxacin mesylate is an important therapeutic agent in the management of bacterial infections.
