antofloxacin

Antofloxacin is a well-tolerated, orally active, and broad-spectrum 8-amino-fluoroquinolone compound that exhibits potent antibacterial properties. It demonstrates superior activity against gyrA mutation-positive Helicobacter pylori strains, particularly in strains with mutations in the Asn87 position, when compared to levofloxacin. Additionally, Antofloxacin acts as a weak but reversible inhibitor of CYP1A2 and is clinically used to treat infections caused by various bacterial species.

Antofloxacin Hydrochloride, a fluoroquinolone antimicrobial, is used to treat acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis (AECB), acute pyelonephritis(AP), acute cystitis and multiple folliculitis.
