Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Sitafloxacin is a new-generation, broad-spectrum oral fluoroquinolone that is very active against many Gram-positive, Gram-negative and anaerobic clinical isolates, including strains resistant to other fluoroquinolones, was recently approved in Japan for the treatment of respiratory and urinary tract infections. Sitafloxacin is active against methicillin-resistant staphylococci, Streptococcus pneumoniae and other streptococci with reduced susceptibility to levofloxacin and other quinolones and enterococci.

Related CAS# CAS#127254-12-0 (Sitafloxacin anhydrous) CAS#(163253-35-8 (Sitafloxacin sesquihydrate) CAS#163253-37-0 (Sitafloxacin monohydrate) Sitafloxacin has also demonstrated activity against clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae (including about 67% of strains producing extended-spectrum, beta-lactamases and resistant to ciprofloxacin), Enterobacter cloacae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa with some activity against quinolone-resistant strains and Acinetobacter baumannii. The in vitro activity against anaerobes is comparable to imipenem or metronidazole. In a published phase II randomized, open-label, multicenter study of patients hospitalized with pneumonia, sitafloxacin (400 mg once daily) was comparable to imipenem/cilastatin (500 mg three times a day). Results of the phase III trials of sitafloxacin are not available in English. The clinical safety profile of sitafloxacin has been characterized from 1,059 patients who participated in 10 clinical trials. The most common events with 50 or 100 mg twice daily were gastrointestinal disorders (17.2%), mostly diarrhea, and abnormal laboratory test results (16.2%), mostly liver enzyme elevations. For Japanese patients, sitafloxacin provides the broad-spectrum coverage promised by clinafloxacin and trovafloxacin and comparable to carbapenems. While it is currently limited by its potential for phototoxicity in Caucasians, phototoxicity is essentially irrelevant if sitafloxacin is used in hospitals and especially in intensive care units.
Biological target:
Sitafloxacin shows antichlamydial activity and antibacterial activities against a broad range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria (including anaerobic bacteria) as well as against atypical pathogens.
In vitro activity:
Sitafloxacin can be an effective treatment for sepsis. The percentage of intracellular TNFα increased in LPS-stimulated cells with sitafloxacin compared with that in LPS-stimulated cells. One of the mechanisms underlying inhibition of TNFα production in LPS-stimulated THP-1 cells treated with sitafloxacin is the inhibition of TNFα release from cells via the suppression of TACE phosphorylation and activity. Reference: Sci Rep. 2021 Dec 17;11(1):24154. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34921186/
In vivo activity:
Sitafloxacin displays good potency against H. influenzaepneumonia. Sitafloxacin completely eradicated viable bacteria from all mouse lungs. Histopathological studies of lung tissue from control mice showed the presence of progressive pneumonia, whereas in sitafloxacin treated mice, total cell counts and neutrophil counts in BALF decreased. Additionally, only a small number of neutrophils were seen in alveolar walls, and inflammatory changes were apparently improved.
