Notes: Levofloxacin-d8 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of levofloxacin (Item No. 20382) by GC- or LC-MS. Levofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic and the active stereoisomer of ofloxacin (Item No. 22891).{42719} It is active against S. aureus, S. epidermidis, B. subtilis, E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and K. pneumoniae (MICs = 0.25, 0.25, 0.5, 0.03, 4, and 0.25 μg/ml, respectively).{45220} Levofloxacin inhibits S. aureus DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV (IC50s = 8.06 and 9.81 μg/ml, respectively).{27493} It eliminates infection in rat models of endocarditis caused by methicillin-sensitive or -resistant S. aureus.{42992} Formulations containing levofloxacin have been used in the treatment of various bacterial infections.
