Description:Trovafloxacinmesylate (CP-99219) is a broad-spectrum quinolone antibiotic thatinhibits DNA supercoiling in various bacteria by blocking the activity of DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. It haspotent activity against Gram-positive, Gram-negative and anaerobic organisms. Trovafloxacin blocks the DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV activity. Trovafloxacin is also a highly potent, specific and orally bioavailable pannexin 1 channel (PANX1) inhibitor with an IC50 of 4 μM for PANX1 inward current. Trovafloxacin does not inhibit connexin 43 gap junction or PANX2. Trovafloxacin leads to dysregulated fragmentation of apoptotic cells by inhibiting PANX1.

Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage in HepG2 cells is increased and apoptosis is induced when trovafloxacin (20 µM; 24 hours; HepG2 cells) is incubated with tumor necrosis factor (TNF; 4 ng/mL). Early NF-κB-related factors A20 and IκBα are expressed more when HEG2 cells are incubated with trovafloxacin (20 µM; 24 hours) and TNF (4 ng/mL) [1]. The activation of IKKα/β and MAPK caused by TNF in HepG2 is prolonged by trovafloxacin [1]. Effectively preventing apoptotic cells from absorbing TO-PRO-3 is trovafloxacin. The release of ATP from apoptotic cells is likewise inhibited by trovafloxacin. Trovafloxacin does not prevent the activation of caspase 3/7 or the cleavage of PANX1 during apoptosis by caspase mediators [2]. MICs of 0.06-0.25 mg/mL have been reported for trovafloxacin against over 700 isolates, indicating that it is equally effective against both penicillin-susceptible and resistant pneumococci. Trovafloxacin inhibits 90% of the isolates of 55 pneumococci with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 0.125 μg/mL [3]. |
| ln Vivo | TNF-induced p65 nuclear translocation was eliminated by trovafloxacin (150 mg/kg; oral; male C57BL/6 J mice). Early NF-κB-related factors A20 and IκBα are expressed more when trovafloxacin is used [1]. When lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or tumor necrosis factor (TNF) was given to mice, trovafloxacin resulted in significant hepatotoxicity. This was accompanied by significant apoptotic regions in the liver, elevated ALT and proinflammatory cytokines in the serum. connected to higher quantities [1]. |
| Cell Assay |
Apoptosis analysis [1] Cell Types: HepG2 Cell Tested Concentrations: 20 µM Incubation Duration: 24 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Annexin V staining gradually increased and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage increased at 24 hrs (hours). RT-PCR[1] Cell Types: HepG2 cells Tested Concentrations: 20 µM Incubation Duration: 24 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Caused higher increase in A20 and IκBα transcription in HepG2 cells. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Male C57BL/6 J mice (9-11 weeks old) were injected with recombinant mouse TNF ions [1]. Doses: 150 mg/kg. Route of Administration: oral administration; injection administration. Experimental Results: An increased number of cells demonstrated an increased nuclear/cytoplasmic p65 ratio in the liver. |
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Effects During Pregnancy and Lactation ◉ Summary of Use during Lactation No information is available on the clinical use of trovafloxacin during breastfeeding; however, amounts in breastmilk appear to be low. 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 trovafloxacin 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. ◉ 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. |
