General Description

Ofloxacin is a synthetic fluoroquinolone antibiotic that is an analog of nalidixic acid

Ofloxacin can directly interact with pneumococcal autolysin (LytA) at its choline binding domain, thus inhibiting the ability of LytA to degrade the pneumococcal cell wall

Ofloxacin is racemic and its (S)-enantiomer is levofloxacin

Applications

Ofloxacin may be used in pharmacokinetic laboratory studies and high-throughput drug screens

The DNA and protein-binding capabilities of ofloxacin have been studied in the laboratory
