Product Description: Gatifloxacin (hydrochloride) (Standard) is the analytical standard of Gatifloxacin (hydrochloride). This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Gatifloxacin hydrochloride (AM-1155; BMS-206584; PD135432) is a potent fluoroquinolone antibiotic with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. Gatifloxacin hydrochloride inhibits bacterial type II topoisomerases (IC50=13.8 μg/ml for S. aureus topoisomerase IV) and E. coli DNA gyrase (IC50 = 0.109 μg/ml)[1]. Gatifloxacin hydrochloride can be used to treat bacterial conjunctivitis in vivo.
Formula: C19H23ClFN3O4
