Beschreibung

Levofloxacin is a synthetic molecule with an asymmetric carbon atom in its heterocycle. It is synthesized by reacting chloroform with 2-fluoro-5-nitrobenzaldehyde, which reacts further with sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid to form the levofloxacin carboxylic acid. Impurities can be found in the reaction product due to chlorine atoms that are formed during the synthesis. The amount of impurities present in the final product can be determined using a titration method or through HPLC analysis. Levofloxacin has been shown to be effective against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Clostridium perfringens, although is not active against acid-fast bacteria such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis or Mycobacterium avium complex.
