Product Description
Mechanism of Action
Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase (topoisomerase II) and topoisomerase IV. By stabilizing the enzymeDNA cleavage complex, it prevents DNA supercoiling, replication and chromosomal separation, ultimately producing lethal double-strand DNA breaks. The HCl salt improves solubility and aqueous stability.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in DNA-gyrase pathway research, fluoroquinolone resistance modelling (QRDR mutations), PK/PD simulation studies, biofilm-penetration research, gram-negative susceptibility assays and medicinal-chemistry salt optimization.
Side Effects and Risks
Risks include tendon rupture, neuropathy, QT prolongation, CNS excitation, phototoxicity, dysglycemia and hepatotoxicity. Handle with fluoroquinolone-class precautions.
Only GMP materials will be supplied, logistics all according to GDP.
