Description

Amifloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. It binds to the enzyme molecules, preventing the bacteria from making proteins and causing cell lysis. Amifloxacin has been shown to be effective against human serum, ciprofloxacin-resistant bacteria, and viruses. Amifloxacin has a low potential for drug interactions because it does not bind with plasma proteins or other drugs in the body. The stability of amifloxacin's complexes with colloidal gold particles make it an ideal candidate for analytical methods that require a stable complex. Amifloxacin is also stable in sodium citrate buffer at pH 7.0 and can be used as a sample preparation reagent for liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC-MS).
