Enrofloxacin N-Oxide Hydrochloride

Description:

Enrofloxacin N-Oxide Hydrochloride is a derivative of enrofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic primarily used in veterinary medicine. This compound is characterized by its broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, targeting a variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The N-oxide modification enhances its solubility and bioavailability, making it effective in treating infections in animals. As a hydrochloride salt, it is typically more stable and easier to handle than its free base form. The compound exhibits a mechanism of action that involves the inhibition of bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, crucial enzymes for bacterial DNA replication and transcription. Enrofloxacin N-Oxide Hydrochloride is generally administered orally or via injection, depending on the specific veterinary application. Safety and efficacy profiles are well-studied, although potential side effects may include gastrointestinal disturbances and, in rare cases, neurological effects. As with all antibiotics, responsible use is essential to mitigate the risk of developing antibiotic resistance.
