Product Description
Pefloxacin Mesylate (also known as 1589 RB and Pefloxacinium) is a broad-spectrum and third generation of fluoroquinolone class of antibacterial agent which inhibits Topoisomerase II activity and DNA replication. Like many other quinolones, Pefloxacin mainly targets bacterial DNA gyrase (topoisomerase II) which is an essential bacterial enzyme with a variety of activities. Pefloxacin is a strongly bactericidal in a complex manner.
Pefloxacin mesylate (CAS 70458-95-6) is a broad-spectrum, third-generation fluoroquinolone antibacterial agent. With a molecular formula of C₁₈H₂₄FN₃O₆S and a molecular weight of 429.46 g/mol, it is the mesylate salt of pefloxacin. It is a synthetic chemotherapeutic agent with potent antibacterial activity against a variety of organisms, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). It has an IC₅₀ of 6.7 nM. Pefloxacin mesylate is used to treat infections caused by susceptible bacteria. It is also known as 1-ethyl-6-fluoro-7-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid monomethanesulfonate.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
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.

  • 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)
