Product Description

Ofloxacin (Hoe-280; DL8280; DL-8280, DR-3355, Hoe280, ORF-28489, Ru-43280) is a synthetic, orally bioavailable and broad-spectrum antibiotic of the fluorinated quinolone class used for the treatment of a variety of bacterial infections such as pneumonia, cellulitis, UTIs-urinary tract infections, prostatitis, and plague. Ofloxacin acts by inhibiting DNA gyrase.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Topo II; Topoisomerase IV
ln Vitro
Ofloxacin (Hoe-280) is a fluoroquinolone that works primarily by inhibiting the bacterial enzyme known as DNA gyrase. While it is not as effective against anaerobes, it exhibits a wide range of activity in vitro against aerobic Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria[1]. Like other 4-quinolones, ofloxacin (Hoe-280) is unique among first-line medications for treating bacterial infections because it affects the synthesis of bacterial DNA rather than cell walls or proteins[2].
ln Vivo
Ofloxacin (Hoe-280) (20 mg/kg), norfloxacin (40 mg/kg), pefloxacin mesylate dihydrate (40 mg/kg) and ciprofloxacin (50 mg/kg) are administered by gavage twice daily for three consecutive weeks. Six weeks following therapy, the test animals are put to sleep, and samples of the Achilles tendon are taken. Biomechanical testing was conducted using a computer-monitored tensile testing apparatus. The control group's mean elastic modulus was notably higher than the norfloxacin and pefloxacin groups' (p<0.05 and p<0.01, respectively). The control group exhibited a significantly higher mean yield force (YF) compared to the groups treated with ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, and pefloxacin (p<0.001, p<0.05, and p<0.01, respectively). Compared to the ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, and pefloxacin groups, the control group's mean ultimate tensile force (UTF) was significantly higher (p<0.001, p<0.05, and p<0.01, respectively). In the tendons of the ciprofloxacin, pefloxacin, and ofloxacin treated groups, hyaline degeneration and fiber disarray were noted, but only in the ciprofloxacin and pefloxacin groups was myxomatous degeneration[3].

Note: Please be aware that the above formulations are for reference only. InvivoChem strongly recommends customers to read literature methods/protocols carefully before determining which formulation you should use for in vivo studies, as different compounds have different solubility properties and have to be formulated differently.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 2.7672 mL 13.8362 mL 27.6725 mL
5 mM 0.5534 mL 2.7672 mL 5.5345 mL
10 mM 0.2767 mL 1.3836 mL 2.7672 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
