Description:

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

Irloxacin is a new quinolone derivative, and shows greater activity with an acid pH. It has a good in vitro antimicrobial spectrum against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. In vitro activity of irloxacin against mycobacteria (20 M. tuberculosis, 17 M. avium, 5 Mycobacterium bovis, 5 Mycobacterium chelonae, 5 Mycobacterium fortuitum and 1 Mycobacterium gadium) using the Bactec at pH 6.8 and 5.0, with other quinolones (ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, pefloxacin and 27753 RP) were compared. All quinolones tested showed good activity against mycobacteria at pH 6.8 and 5.0. Irloxacin at pH 5.0 had a greater activity against M. avium.

Biological target:
Irloxacin (Pirfloxacin) is a quinolone antibacterial agent that shows greater activity with an acidic pH and has a good in vitro antimicrobial spectrum against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
In vitro activity:
TBD
In vivo activity:
Embryotoxicity studies on irloxacin (6-fluorine-7-(pyrrol-1-yl)-1-ethyl-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-quinolone-3-carboxylic acid, CAS-91524-15-1), a new fluoroquinolone antibacterial agent, were performed in rats and rabbits. Oral administration of irloxacin during the fetal period of organogenesis to pregnant rats and rabbits at dose levels of up to 1000 and 350 mg/kg/d, respectively, elicited no evidence of teratogenicity. During the first days of treatment, transient stasis in body weight increase was observed in rat dams receiving doses of 350 or 1000 mg/kg/d, and reduced food consumption was observed in those receiving 1000 mg/kg/d. Necropsy on day 20 of gestation showed dosage related increase in liver and kidney weights in all rat treated groups. Rabbit dams receiving 350 mg/kg/d showed during the first days of treatment decrease in body weight, and decreased food consumption and faecal output. Also, four females receiving 350 mg/kg/d aborted between days 18 and 20 of gestation. Rat fetuses in the 350 and 1000 mg/kg/d showed decreased body weight, and a decrease in placental weights was observed in the 1000 mg/kg/d group. No retardations or malformations were observed in rat or rabbit fetuses at any tested dose level. Reference: Arzneimittelforschung. 2003;53(2):121-5. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12642968/

Note: There can be variations in solubility for the same chemical from different vendors or different batches from the same vendor. The following factors can affect the solubility of the same chemical: solvent used for crystallization, residual solvent content, polymorphism, salt versus free form, degree of hydration, solvent temperature. Please use the solubility data as a reference only. Warming and sonication will facilitate dissolving. Still have questions? Please contact our Technical Support scientists.

Preparing Stock Solutions

The following data is based on the product molecular weight 300.29 Batch specific molecular weights may vary from batch to batch due to the degree of hydration, which will affect the solvent volumes required to prepare stock solutions.
