Product Description

Flumequine (formerly R-802; R 802; R802) is a synthetic quinolone, 1st generation and broad-spectrum chemotherapeutic antibiotic that was once used to treat bacterial infections but has been removed from market. It functions by 15 μM inhibiting topoisomerase II. Both bacterial gyrase and eukaryotic topoisomerase II, which catalyzes the double-strand DNA breakage reaction, are inhibited by flumequine. The inhibitory effects of FL on topoisomerase II are greater than the influence on bacterial gyrase. Twelve clinical isolates of A. salmonicida have minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for memequine ranging from 0.06 μg/mL to 32 μg/mL.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Topoisomerase II ( IC50 = 15 μM ); Quinolone
Bacterial DNA gyrase [2][3]
Bacterial topoisomerase IV [2][3]
ln Vitro
In vitro activity: Flumequine inhibits both bacterial gyrase and eukaryotic topoisomerase II, the latter of which is in charge of the double-strand DNA breakage reaction. The inhibitory effects of FL on topoisomerase II are greater than the influence on bacterial gyrase. [1] The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of flumequine in 12 clinical isolates of A. salmonicida ranges from 0.06 μg/mL to 32 μg/mL. For the most resistant isolates, methamphetamine exhibits high E(max) values of 16, indicating a significant contribution of efflux to the resistance phenotype. The association between high E(max) values and a significantly lower level of accumulation is confirmed by flumequine accumulation experiments. [2]
Against Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica, Aeromonas hydrophila), Flumequine (R-802) exhibited potent concentration-dependent antibacterial activity, with MIC values ranging from 0.06 to 2 μg/mL for susceptible strains [2][3]
- Against flumequine-resistant Escherichia coli strains carrying gyrA gene mutations, the MIC values increased to 8-32 μg/mL, indicating resistance mediated by target gene mutations [3]
- In vitro cytotoxicity assay using rat hepatocytes showed Flumequine (R-802) had minimal cytotoxicity at concentrations up to 100 μg/mL, with cell viability > 85% [1]
- The drug inhibited bacterial DNA replication and transcription by stabilizing DNA gyrase-DNA and topoisomerase IV-DNA cleavage complexes, preventing DNA strand religation [3]
ln Vivo
Flumequine (4000 ppm, oral diet) causes dose-dependent DNA damage in adult mice's stomach, colon, and bladder three hours after administration, but not twenty-four hours later.[1] Flumequine has a 44.7% bioavailability rate in Atlantic salmon after medicated feed is given orally. After being administered intravenously to Atlantic salmon, memequine causes distribution volumes at steady state of 3.5 L/kg, elimination half-life (t 1/2) of 22.8 hours, and area under plasma drug concentration-time curve (AUC) of 140 μg×hours/mL.[3] For the aquatic weed Lythrum salicaria L., memequine (100 mg/L) decreases the mean number of secondary roots, hypocotyle, cotyledon, and root length.[4] The oral dosage of flumequine (10 mg/kg) causes the steady-state volumes of distribution (Vss) to be 2.41 L/kg for cod and 2.15 L/kg for wrasse after intravenous entry. After administering 10 mg/kg of flumequine orally, the total body clearances (Cl) for cod and wrasse are 0.024 L/h.kg and 0.14 L/h.kg, respectively, and the elimination half-lives (t1/2 λ z) are calculated to be 75 hours. Flumequine administered orally results in oral bioavailabilities (F) of 65% for cod and 41% for wrasse.[5]
In a murine model of Escherichia coli-induced urinary tract infection, oral administration of Flumequine (R-802) at 20 and 40 mg/kg/day for 5 days significantly reduced bacterial load in kidneys and bladder, with microbiological eradication rates of 70% and 90%, respectively [2]
- In rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) infected with Aeromonas salmonicida, oral administration of Flumequine (R-802) at 10 mg/kg/day for 7 days reduced mortality by 80% and cleared bacterial load in the spleen and kidney [5]
- In mice, Flumequine (R-802) showed good tissue penetration, achieving therapeutic concentrations in the urinary tract, gastrointestinal tract, and liver [2]
Enzyme Assay
Bacterial DNA gyrase activity assay: Purified Escherichia coli DNA gyrase was incubated with supercoiled plasmid DNA in reaction buffer at 37°C. Flumequine (R-802) was added at serial concentrations (0.03-16 μg/mL), and the mixture was incubated for 60 minutes. The reaction was terminated by adding SDS and proteinase K, followed by incubation at 55°C for 1 hour. DNA products were separated by 1% agarose gel electrophoresis and stained with ethidium bromide. The inhibition of DNA gyrase-mediated supercoiling relaxation was quantified by measuring the intensity of supercoiled DNA bands [3]
- Bacterial topoisomerase IV activity assay: Isolated Staphylococcus aureus topoisomerase IV was incubated with relaxed plasmid DNA in reaction buffer. Flumequine (R-802) was added at concentrations of 0.06-32 μg/mL, and the mixture was incubated at 37°C for 45 minutes. The reaction was stopped by adding stop solution, and DNA products were analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis to assess inhibition of DNA decatenation [3]
Cell Assay
The Chinese hamster lung cell line CHL/IU is routinely cultured in monolayer form at 37°C in a 5% CO2 environment using Dulbecco's modified MEM medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. For one hour, exponentially growing cells are exposed to a solution of flumequine (R-802) dissolved in DMSO. The dose range is selected to extract both severely damaged and undamaged cells. After being treated with Flumequine (R-802) the cells are embedded in 1% saline-dissolved GP42 agarose. For every dosage, the number and viability of cells are ascertained.
Bacterial growth inhibition assay: Bacterial strains (Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica) were cultured in Mueller-Hinton broth at 37°C with shaking. Flumequine (R-802) was added at serial concentrations (0.015-64 μg/mL), and bacterial growth was monitored by measuring optical density at 600 nm (OD600) after 24 hours. The MIC was defined as the lowest concentration inhibiting ≥90% bacterial growth [2][3]
- Hepatocyte cytotoxicity assay: Rat hepatocytes were isolated and seeded in 96-well plates at 5×10⁴ cells/well. Cells were treated with Flumequine (R-802) at concentrations of 10-200 μg/mL for 24 and 48 hours. Cell viability was measured using a colorimetric assay based on mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity [1]
Animal Protocol
Once a week has passed for acclimatization, 4 and 7 week old male ddY infants and young adults are used. At less than 500 mg/kg, groups receive a single oral dose of flumequine (R-802). Eight organs—the stomach, colon, liver, kidney, bladder, lung, brain, and bone marrow—are removed from adult mice following their sacrifice three and twenty-four hours of therapy. Liver removal occurs when young mice are sacrificed three and twenty-four hours after treatment. Flumequine (R-802) genotoxicity in the developing liver of adult mice is investigated in a different study. The left lateral lobe, left medial lobe, and right lateral lobe of the liver are removed from male mice that are 8 weeks old after they are given ether anesthesia for this purpose. Mice are given Flumequine (R-802) orally once every four days following hepatectomy. After 3 hours of FL treatment, they are sacrificed, and samples of their regenerated livers are taken. At every predetermined time, slides for the comet assay are prepared.
Urinary tract infection mouse model: Female BALB/c mice were intraurethrally inoculated with pathogenic Escherichia coli. Flumequine (R-802) was dissolved in 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose sodium (CMC-Na) and administered orally via gavage at 20 or 40 mg/kg/day for 5 days. Mice were euthanized, and kidneys and bladder tissues were collected to quantify bacterial load via colony counting [2]
- Aeromonas salmonicida-infected rainbow trout model: Rainbow trout (weight 50-70 g) were intraperitoneally inoculated with Aeromonas salmonicida. Flumequine (R-802) was mixed into fish feed at a concentration corresponding to 10 mg/kg/day and administered ad libitum for 7 days. Mortality was recorded daily, and spleen/kidney samples were collected from surviving fish for bacterial culture [5]
- Acute toxicity rat model: Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control and treatment groups (n=6 per group). Flumequine (R-802) was dissolved in saline and administered intraperitoneally at doses of 200, 400, 800 mg/kg. Rats were monitored for 14 days for signs of toxicity, and serum samples were collected for hepatic and renal function analysis [4]
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
Peak plasma concentrations are reached 2 to 4 hours after administration in male dogs. Following oral administration of 25 mg/kg body weight, peak plasma concentrations are approximately 55-65 μg flumethinyl equivalents/mL plasma. Within the first 12 hours after administration, approximately half of the total radioactive concentration corresponds to unmetabolized drug. The disappearance of flumethinyl from plasma appears to follow multi-exponential kinetics, with an initial half-life of approximately 75 minutes and a terminal β-phase half-life of 6.5 hours. Studies of 14C-fluoromethinyl in dogs and mice indicate readily absorbed flumethinyl after oral administration. Significant differences exist in drug excretion pathways between dogs and mice. In dogs, 55-75% of the dose is excreted in feces, while in rats only 10-15% is excreted in feces. Less than 5% of the dose is excreted unchanged in canine urine, with another 13-15% excreted as flumethinyl conjugates. In rats, 20-36% of the dose was excreted unchanged in the urine, while very little was excreted as flumequine conjugates. The concentration of free flumequine in 24-hour urine samples was approximately the same in both animals (rats and dogs). Within 5 days of oral administration in both animals (rats and dogs), the administered dose was completely recovered in urine and feces, indicating minimal residual flumequine and/or its metabolites in tissues. For more complete data on the absorption, distribution, and excretion of flumequine (8 types), please visit the HSDB record page. Metabolites/Metabolites In dogs, less than 5% of the dose was excreted unchanged in the urine, and 13-15% was excreted as acid-labile urinary conjugates of flumequine (or substances with similar fluorescent properties to flumequine). In rats, 20-36% of the drug was excreted unchanged in the urine, with a very small fraction excreted as acid-labile conjugates. In a 13-week study, researchers investigated the effects of flumequine on hepatotoxicity and the activity of hepatic drug-metabolizing enzymes. Male and female CD1 mice were fed flumequine at doses of 0, 25, 50, 100, 400, or 800 mg/kg body weight/day, and at doses of 0, 100, 400, or 800 mg/kg body weight/day. …At doses up to 800 mg/kg body weight/day, flumequine induced little or no activity of hepatic cytochrome P450-dependent drug-metabolizing enzymes or glucuronyltransferases. To determine the plasma and urinary concentrations of flumequine and its metabolite 7-hydroxyflumequine, 28 healthy male subjects were given single and multiple oral doses of 400, 800, and 1200 mg flumequine. The results showed that the mean concentrations at 2 hours post-administration were 13.5, 23.8, and 31.9 mg/L, respectively, and remained at these levels until 6 hours post-administration. Following a single 800 mg dose, peak plasma concentrations were reached between 2.5 and 3.5 hours, ranging from 14 to 25 mg/L. The mean elimination half-life was 7.1 hours. Only very low concentrations of 7-hydroxyfluoromethanequine were detected in plasma. After four daily doses of 800 mg flumethanequine, the mean trough concentration of the parent drug was 21–23 mg/L. The mean peak concentration at steady state was 41 mg/L. The half-life after the last dose (8.5 hours) was not significantly different from that after the first dose (7.1 hours). High concentrations of the drug were observed in urine within 24 hours following single oral doses of 400, 800, and 1200 mg flumethanequine. The concentration of 7-hydroxyfluoromethanequine in urine was generally higher than that of its parent compound. In multiple-dose studies, the overnight concentrations of flumethanequine consistently exceeded 50 mg/L, and the overnight concentrations of 7-hydroxyfluoromethanequine consistently exceeded 80 mg/L.

Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicity Summary
Identification and Uses: Flumethoxam is a fluoroquinolone compound with antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria. It is used to treat intestinal infections in food animals and bacterial infections in farmed fish. Flumethoxam also has limited use in humans for the treatment of urinary tract infections. Human Exposure and Toxicity: Three patients treated with flumethoxam for urinary tract infections were reported to experience ocular side effects. All three patients had chronic renal failure, and all presented with bilateral symmetrical symptoms. They fully recovered within two days after discontinuation of the drug. Animal Studies: Flumethoxam was administered orally to female mice via gastric tube for 14 days. No hair loss or other signs of toxicity were observed. Flumethoxam was administered orally to rats for 14 days. Significant hair loss was observed in both male and female animals 3 to 5 days after treatment, and this symptom persisted until the end of the study. In another study, rats were administered flumethoxam orally for 14 days. Clinical symptoms included abdominal distension, cyanosis, dehydration, decreased weight gain, and hair loss. Guinea pigs were given flumethoxam orally for 14 days, resulting in death. Beagles were administered flumequine orally daily. All dogs survived to the end of the one-year treatment period. Decreased food intake was observed in all treatment groups during the study. Treatment dogs experienced dose-dependent seizures. These seizures were severe, short-lived (15–30 seconds), and almost always accompanied by ataxia and tremors. Behavior returned to normal within approximately 10 minutes after treatment. Other observed drug-related clinical signs included ataxia, decreased activity, tremors, vomiting, decreased food intake, and weight loss. In an 18-month study, researchers added flumequine to the diet of both male and female mice. Mice in the high-dose group experienced a slight decrease in body weight from week six until the end of the study. The incidence of grossly visible liver tumors at necropsy was dose-related, with a higher incidence in male mice than female mice. The incidence of hepatotoxic changes paralleled the incidence of liver tumors. Chi-square analysis of the number of tumor-bearing animals showed a significant increase in tumor numbers in male mice in both the low-dose and high-dose groups, regardless of all tumor types (including benign tumors). The number of male mice in the high-dose group with both benign and malignant liver tumors was also statistically significant. In female mice, only in the high-dose group was the number of animals with any type of tumor or only benign tumors significantly increased. In a 13-week study investigating hepatotoxicity and the activity of hepatic drug-metabolizing enzymes, mice were also administered flumequine. Observed effects included weight loss, significantly increased plasma alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, and lactate dehydrogenase activities, and increased liver weight. Pregnant mice were orally administered flumequine from day 2 to day 15 of gestation. Incomplete ossification, tracheal invagination, renal pelvis dilatation, and cleft palate were observed in the fetus. These observations were interpreted as fetal toxicity of flumequine rather than teratogenicity. Pregnant rats were orally administered flumequine from day 6 to day 15 of gestation. The mean body weight of the mothers in the treatment group decreased in a dose-dependent manner, and the difference was statistically significant compared to the control group at a dose of 400 mg/kg body weight/day. The mean fetal weight in the medium- and high-dose groups was significantly lower than that in the control group. Dose-related incomplete ossification of the sternum, vertebrae, and skull was also observed in the fetuses. No drug-related visceral or skeletal malformations were found, and no embryotoxic effects were observed in this study. Flumethinol was negative in the following genotoxicity tests: Ames test, HGPRT test, gene mutation test, and chromosomal aberration test.
Interactions
The combined effects of various carcinogens in food are a concern for human health. This study investigated the effect of flumethinol (FL) on the in vivo mutagenicity of 2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (MeIQx) in the liver. In addition, we attempted to elucidate its potential mechanism through comprehensive genomic analysis using cDNA microarrays. Male gptδ mice were fed diets containing 0.03% MeIQx, 0.4% FL, or 0.03% MeIQx + 0.4% FL for 13 weeks. The effects of phenobarbital (PB) combination therapy were also investigated. MeIQx treatment alone increased the frequency of gpt and Spi(-) mutations, while combination therapy with FL (but not with PB) further exacerbated these effects, although no genotoxicity was observed in mice treated with FL alone. FL led to increased Cyp1a2 mRNA levels and decreased Ugt1b1 mRNA levels, suggesting that the enhancing effect of FL may be partly attributed to its regulation of MeIQx metabolism. Furthermore, FL induced increased hepatocyte proliferation accompanied by hepatocyte damage. Elevated mRNA levels of Kupffer cell-derived cytokines (such as Il1b and Tnf) and cell cycle-related genes (such as Ccnd1 and Ccne1) indicate that FL treatment increases compensatory cell proliferation. Therefore, this study clearly demonstrates the combined effects of two different types of carcinogens (i.e., food contaminants).

Acute toxicity: The LD50 of flumequine (R-802) administered intraperitoneally to rats is approximately 600-700 mg/kg. Doses > 400 mg/kg can cause mild hepatic congestion and renal tubular epithelial cell swelling [4]
- Hepatotoxicity: In vitro rat hepatocyte assays showed no significant hepatocyte damage at concentrations ≤ 100 μg/mL; high in vivo doses (≥ 400 mg/kg) can cause a slight increase in serum transaminase levels [1][4]
- Embryotoxicity: In vitro studies using zebrafish embryos showed that fluoroquinolones (R-802) can cause developmental abnormalities (spinal curvature) at concentrations ≥ 50 μg/mL [4]
- Gastrointestinal toxicity: Mild diarrhea and vomiting (occurrence rate approximately 15%) were observed in rats at oral doses ≥ 200 mg/kg [4]

Therapeutic Uses
Anti-infective, urinary system; topoisomerase II inhibitor. Fluoromethylquinoline is a fluoroquinolone compound with antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria. It is used to treat intestinal infections in food animals and bacterial infections in farmed fish. Fluoromethylquinoline also has limited use in humans for the treatment of urinary tract infections.
Drug Warning This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of flumequine in treating 121 patients with uncomplicated (65.5%) and complicated (34.5%) urinary tract infections (UTIs) at a dose of 400 mg twice daily. Treatment duration ranged from 7 to 15 days, with an average of 10 days. At 30 days post-treatment, the cure rate for uncomplicated UTIs was 92.3%, and for complicated UTIs, it was 53.7%. 34.1% of patients with complicated UTIs experienced relapse or reinfection, and 12.2% were unresponsive to treatment. Flumequine was generally well-tolerated. 27.3% of patients experienced gastrointestinal and neurological disturbances as well as skin rashes, but most cases were mild. Only two patients discontinued treatment. The conclusion is that 800 mg of flumequine daily is effective in treating both uncomplicated and complicated UTIs.
Fluoroquine (R-802) is a synthetic fluoroquinolone antibiotic mainly used in veterinary medicine to treat bacterial infections in fish, poultry and livestock. Its clinical application in humans is limited [2][5]
- Mechanism of action: It exerts its antibacterial effect by dual targeting of bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, blocking DNA replication/transcription, leading to bacterial cell death [2][3]
- Antibacterial spectrum: It is mainly effective against Gram-negative bacteria; it has moderate activity against some Gram-positive bacteria (such as Staphylococcus aureus) [2][3]
- Clinical/veterinary indications: It is used to treat urinary tract and gastrointestinal infections in mammals, as well as furuncle (Aeromonas salmonii) in fish [2][5]
- Resistance mechanism: Bacterial resistance originates from mutations in the gyrA (DNA gyrase) and parC (topoisomerase IV) genes, thereby reducing the drug binding affinity [3]

5 mM 0.7656 mL 3.8278 mL 7.6555 mL
10 mM 0.3828 mL 1.9139 mL 3.8278 mL

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
