Quinolone
Pefloxacin mesylate targets bacterial DNA gyrase (topoisomerase II) and topoisomerase IV, which are essential enzymes for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination. By inhibiting these enzymes, it prevents the supercoiling and uncoiling of bacterial DNA, leading to the arrest of DNA synthesis and cell death. Its potent activity against a broad range of bacteria, including MRSA, is attributed to its high affinity for these targets. The compound's IC₅₀ of 6.7 nM reflects its high potency. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, Pefloxacin mesylate exhibits potent antibacterial activity against a broad range of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Its activity is measured by determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against various bacterial strains. It is effective against methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Its potency, with an IC₅₀ of 6.7 nM, makes it a highly effective antibacterial agent. The compound is used in microbiological research to study bacterial resistance mechanisms.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, Pefloxacin mesylate is used to treat infections due to susceptible organisms. It is effective against a variety of infections, including those of the respiratory tract, urinary tract, and skin. Its broad-spectrum activity and good tissue penetration make it useful for treating systemic infections. The compound is administered orally or intravenously. Its clinical use is limited by the development of bacterial resistance and potential side effects.

| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro non-cell enzyme assays for Pefloxacin mesylate involve measuring its inhibition of DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. Purified enzymes are incubated with the compound, a DNA substrate, and ATP. The inhibition of DNA supercoiling or relaxation is measured by gel electrophoresis or fluorescence-based assays. IC₅₀ values, such as the 6.7 nM for its antibacterial activity, are determined from dose-response curves.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell-based assays for Pefloxacin mesylate use standard microbiological methods, such as broth microdilution and agar diffusion, to determine the MIC against various bacterial strains. Time-kill assays are used to evaluate its bactericidal activity over time. Its activity against MRSA is of particular interest. Cytotoxicity assays using mammalian cell lines are performed to assess its selectivity.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies for Pefloxacin mesylate employ models of bacterial infection, such as murine sepsis or pneumonia models. The compound is administered, and its efficacy is measured by the reduction in bacterial load, survival rates, or clinical signs of infection. Pharmacokinetic studies are also performed to characterize its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pefloxacin mesylate has a molecular weight of 429.46 g/mol and a molecular formula of C₁₈H₂₄FN₃O₆S. It is a white to off-white powder. It is soluble in water. The compound should be stored at room temperature, protected from light and moisture. Its stability is good under normal storage conditions.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Pefloxacin mesylate, like other fluoroquinolones, can cause side effects such as gastrointestinal disturbances, central nervous system effects (dizziness, headache), and tendonitis. It is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to quinolones. Its use in children and adolescents is limited due to the risk of cartilage damage. The compound is not intended for human therapeutic use without a prescription.

*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.
