| Targets |
The primary target of (R)-Ofloxacin is bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, similar to other fluoroquinolones. However, the R-enantiomer has significantly reduced activity compared to the S-enantiomer. It binds to the enzymes but with lower affinity, resulting in weaker inhibition of DNA replication and bacterial cell death. The compound's reduced activity makes it useful for studying stereoselectivity.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, (R)-Ofloxacin has significantly reduced antibacterial activity compared to levofloxacin. It is used as a negative control or as a tool to study the stereoselectivity of fluoroquinolone antibiotics. The compound's reduced activity has been confirmed in various in vitro susceptibility tests.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, (R)-Ofloxacin is not used as a therapeutic agent due to its reduced antibacterial activity. It is used in research to study the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ofloxacin enantiomers. The compound is primarily used as an analytical standard and in research applications.
|
| Enzyme Assay |

*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.
