Product Data
Biological target:
Pefloxacin mesylate dehydrate is an antibacterial agent and prevents bacterial DNA replication by inhibiting DNA gyrase (topoisomerse).
In vitro activity:
PFLX (pefloxacin) was photodegraded in 5h and forms photoproduct under UVA exposure. At the non photocytotoxic dose PFLX, shows reduced phagocytosis activity, NO (nitric oxide) production, large vacuole formation and down regulated IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1 in BALB/c macrophages at both genes and proteins levels. At higher doses (photocytotoxic doses), PFLX induced a concentration dependent decrease in cell viability of human keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT) and peritoneal macrophages of BALB/c mice. Reference: J Photochem Photobiol B. 2018 Jan;178:593-605. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29275239/
In vivo activity:
The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in the number of serotonergic immunoreactive fibers and mast cells after pefloxacin treatment in the parotid and sublingual glands of rats to detect the possible neurotoxic effect of pefloxacin. These results suggest that pefloxacin treatment can modify the finely controlled communication between the immune- and the peripheral nervous systems, resulting neurogenic inflammatory process.
