Product Data
Biological target:
Levofloxacin Lactate is a respiratory quinolone antibiotic, exhibiting enhanced activity against the important respiratory pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae.
In vitro activity:
Levofloxacin exhibited twofold greater inhibitory and bactericidal activities than ofloxacin against either extracellular or intracellular tubercle bacilli. Reference: Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 1994 May;38(5):1161-4. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8067756/
In vivo activity:
This study investigated the toxic effect of levofloxacin (LVFX), a quinolone antibacterial agent, on cartilage by examining aspects of its in vivo toxicokinetics and effect on the function of cultured chondrocytes of the femoral articular cartilage from juvenile New Zealand White rabbits. Repeated administration of LVFX (100 mg/kg) orally for 7 days induced focal necrosis and superficial erosion in the articular cartilage of the femoral condyle, but 30 mg/kg did not. Reference: Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 1995 Sep;39(9):1979-83. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8540702/
