Cell Assay | The antibiotic agent doxifloxacin (hydrochloride) is a synthetic fluoroquinolone. When compared to earlier fluoroquinolone agents, antibacterial doxifloxacin, an extended-spectrum fluoroquinolone, exhibits better coverage against gram-positive cocci and atypical pathogens while maintaining good activity against gram-negative bacteria. All common upper and lower respiratory tract pathogens are included in moxifloxacin's antibacterial spectrum, making it one of the most effective fluoroquinolones against pneumococci, including strains resistant to macrolides and penicillin. Moxifloxacin's potential for phototoxicity is limited. Moxifloxacin demonstrated bacteriologic eradication rates of 90–97% and clinical success rates of 88–97% in clinical trials. Moxifloxacin is an antimicrobial agent that is both safe and effective in treating community-acquired pneumonia, acute bacterial exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, and acute sinusitis. As shown by the production of MDA and the prolongation of survival, movifloxacin may promote lipid peroxidation and improve phagocytosis without being toxic, as shown by the white blood cell count. Clinical recommendations: Acute sinusitis, bacterial infection, acute bronchitis, and abdominal abscess toxicity CNS and gastrointestinal side effects, such as reduced activity, sleepiness, trembling, convulsions, vomiting, and diarrhea, are signs of an overdose. In rats and mice, a minimal lethal intravenous dose is 100 mg/kg. | |
Animal Protocol |
144 white male Wistar rats (18-22 weeks; 300-400 g) infected Stenotrophomonas maltophilia 12 mg/kg Intravenous injection; once per day, twice per day, three times per day; for 7 days In order to investigate the effect of moxifloxacin on survival, lipid peroxidation and inflammation in immunosuppressed rats with soft tissue infection caused by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, 144 white male Wistar rats were randomized into six groups: Groups A and B received saline or moxifloxacin once per day, respectively; Groups C and D received saline or moxifloxacin twice per day, respectively, and Groups E and F received saline or moxifloxacin three times per day, respectively. Blood samples were taken at 6 and 30 hr after administration of S. maltophilia. Malonodialdehyde (MDA), WBC counts, bacterial tissue overgrowth, serum concentrations of moxifloxacin and survival were assessed. Survival analysis proved that treatment with moxifloxacin every 8 hr was accompanied by longer survival than occurred in any other group. Tissue cultures 30 hr after bacterial challenge showed considerably less bacterial overgrowth in the spleens and lungs of moxifloxacin-treated than in saline-treated animals, but not in their livers. At 6 hr there were no statistically significant differences between groups. However, at 30 hr, MDA concentrations were significantly greater (P = 0.044) and WBC counts significantly lower (P = 0.026) in group D than in group C. No statistically significant variations were observed between the other groups. Moxifloxacin possibly stimulates lipid peroxidation and enhances phagocytosis, as indicated by MDA production and survival prolongation, without being toxic, as indicated by WBC count. Therefore, under the appropriate conditions, moxifloxacin has a place in treatment of infections in immunosuppressed patients and of infections caused by S. maltophilia.[2] |

Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Effects During Pregnancy and Lactation ◉ Summary of Use during Lactation No information is available on the use of moxifloxacin during breastfeeding. Fluoroquinolones have traditionally not been used in infants because of concern about adverse effects on the infants' developing joints. However, recent studies indicate little risk. The calcium in milk might prevent absorption of the small amounts of fluoroquinolones in milk, but insufficient data exist to prove or disprove this assertion. Use of moxifloxacin is acceptable in nursing mothers with monitoring of the infant for possible effects on the gastrointestinal flora, such as diarrhea or candidiasis (thrush, diaper rash). However, it is preferable to use an alternate drug for which safety information is available. Maternal use of an eye drop that contains moxifloxacin presents negligible risk for the nursing infant. To substantially diminish the amount of drug that reaches the breastmilk after using eye drops, place pressure over the tear duct by the corner of the eye for 1 minute or more, then remove the excess solution with an absorbent tissue. ◉ Effects in Breastfed Infants Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date. ◉ Effects on Lactation and Breastmilk Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date. |

Additional Infomation |
Moxifloxacin hydrochloride is a hydrochloride comprising equimolar amounts of moxifloxacin and hydrogen chloride. It has a role as an antibacterial drug. It contains a moxifloxacinium(1+). Moxifloxacin hydrochloride is an antibacterial prescription medicine approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of certain bacterial infections, such as community-acquired pneumonia, acute worsening of chronic bronchitis, acute sinus infections, plague, and skin and abdominal infections. Community-acquired pneumonia, a bacterial respiratory infection, can be an opportunistic infection (OI) of HIV. Moxifloxacin Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt of a fluoroquinolone antibacterial antibiotic. Moxifloxacin binds to and inhibits the bacterial enzymes DNA gyrase (topoisomerase II) and topoisomerase IV, resulting in inhibition of DNA replication and repair and cell death in sensitive bacterial species. A fluoroquinolone that acts as an inhibitor of DNA TOPOISOMERASE II and is used as a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent. See also: Moxifloxacin (has active moiety).
