Gemifloxacin mesylate (SB-265805S
LB-20304a) is an orally active broad-spectrum quinolone antibacterial antibiotic. Gemifloxacin mesylate inhibits DNA synthesis by inhibiting DNA gyrase and Topoisomerase IV activities. Gemifloxacin mesylate has potent antibacterial activities against gram-positive bacteria in vitro efficacy study, particularly Streptococci and Staphylococci. Gemifloxacin mesylate has been used in the research of respiratory tract infections.
Gemifloxacin has higher antibacterial activity than Moxifloxacin (HY-66011A) against Streptococcus pneumoniae with a MIC90 of 0.06 μg/mL[2]. Gemifloxacin has highly potent antibacterial activity against Penicillin-resistant strains of S. pneumoniae with a MIC90 of 0.03 μg/mL[2].
Gemifloxacin has favorable pharmacokinetic profile in animals after oral administration[1]. Pharmacokinetic Parameters of Gemifloxacin in Sprague-Dawley rats and dogs[1]. Species Administration AUC0-24 (μg/mL·h) Half-life (h) Cmax (μg/mL) Tmax (h) F (%) Rat p.o.
