| Bioactivity | Moxifloxacin Hydrochloride (BAY 12-8039) is an oral 8-methoxyquinolone antimicrobial for use in the treatment of acute bacterial sinusitis, acute bacterial exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, and community-acquired pneumonia[1][2]. |
| Invitro | The in vitro activities of Moxifloxacin Hydrochloride (BAY 12-8039) and Amoxicillin are compared by time-kill curve and inhibition of intracellular growth experiments by using a model of bone marrow-derived mouse macrophages infected by L. monocytogenes EGDe. Moxifloxacin acts much more rapidly, beginning to exert its effects in the first 3 h and achieving complete broth sterilization within 24 h of incubation. Moxifloxacin appears to have a protective effect against macrophage lysis, as many cells are still viable after 24 h of incubation[3]. |
