| Bioactivity | Sarafloxacin (hydrochloride) (A-56620 (hydrochloride)) is a quinolone antibiotic drug. |
| Invitro | Sarafloxacin (hydrochloride) is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic registered for use against poultry diseases. Sarafloxacin treatment demonstrated mineralization to 14CO2 amounting to 0.58%, 0.49%, and 0.57% in loam, silt loam, and sandy loam soils, respectively, at the termination of the test[1]. The inhibitory level of sarafloxacin for the tested bacteria was strain dependent. It appeared that in broth culture Escherichia coli isolates were sensitive to sarafloxacin concentrations 5-fold lower than the concentrations present in the simulated gut model, suggesting that sarafloxacin may be partially unavailable due to absorption to organic matter in the model[2]. |
