Biological target:
Quinolone
In vitro activity:
Ciprofloxacin is a broad spectrum antibacterial drug to which most Gram-negative bacteria are highly susceptible in vitro and many Gram-positive bacteria are susceptible or moderately susceptible. Reference: Campoli-Richards DM, Monk JP, Price A, Benfield P, Todd PA, Ward A. Ciprofloxacin. A review of its antibacterial activity, pharmacokinetic properties and therapeutic use. Drugs. 1988 Apr;35(4):373-447. doi: 10.2165/00003495-198835040-00003. PMID: 3292209.
In vivo activity:
Ciprofloxacin has been extensively investigated in various animal models of infection. These studies have demonstrated ciprofloxacin to possess in-vivo activity comparable to its activity previously demonstrated in vitro. Reference: Peterson LR. Animal models: the in-vivo evaluation of ciprofloxacin. J Antimicrob Chemother. 1986 Nov;18 Suppl D:55-64. doi: 10.1093/jac/18.supplement_d.55. PMID: 3542949.
