Bioactivity | Oxolinic acid is an antibiotic against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Oxolinic acid can be used for the research of acute and chronic urinary tract infections. Oxolinic acid is a DNA/RNA synthesis inhibitor. Oxolinic acid acts a dopamine uptake inhibitor and stimulants locomotor effect in mice[1][2][3]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | Oxolinic acid (2-5 ug/mL) inhibits 115 strains of E. coli[1].Oxolinic acid (0-31 ug/mL) inhibits 94 % of the 44 strains of Proteus mirabilis [1].Oxolinic acid (>5 ug/mL) inhibits all strains of Strept. Faecalis[1].Oxolinic acid (>2 ug/mL) causes chromosomal DNA supercoiling to decrease in the two wild-type E. coli K-12 strains tested, DM4100 and NI747[2].Oxolinic acid reduces chromosomal DNA supercoiling and inhibits RNA synthesis in E. coli[2]. | ||||||||||||
