What is rosoxacin?
The Uses of rosoxacin
Antibacterial.
Indications
For the treatment of bacterial infection of respiratory tract, urinary tract, GI, CNS and immuno compromised patients.
Background
Rosoxacin is a quinolone derivative antibiotic for the treatment of bacterial infection of respiratory tract, urinary tract, GI, CNS and immuno compromised patients. Rosoxacin is known to be effective against penicillin resistant strains and is a single dose orally administered drug, which avoids all complications of parenteral administration seen with penicillin, especially anaphylactic shock.
Definition
ChEBI: A quinolinemonocarboxylic acid that is 1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid that is substituted by an ethyl group at position 1 and by a pyridin-4-yl group at position 7. An antibacterial drug, active against Neisseria gonorrhoeae, it has be n used for treating urinary tract infections and certain sexually transmitted diseases.
brand name
Roxadyl (Sterling Winthrop).
Pharmacokinetics
Rosoxacin is a nonfluorinated quinolone antibiotic. Its mode of action depends on blocking of bacterial DNA replication by binding itself to an enzyme called DNA gyrase, which allows the untwisting required to replicate one DNA double helix into two. Rosoxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is active against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
Pharmacokinetics
A single oral dose of 300 mg produces a mean peak plasma concentration of 4–5 mg/L at about 2–4 h, with an apparent elimination half-life of about 6 h. Elimination in the urine is partly as the N-oxide metabolite and the glucuronide of this metabolite.
Side effects are those common to quinolones, notably gastrointestinal tract and CNS disturbances. About 50% of patients treated with single oral doses of 100–400 mg developed dizziness, drowsiness, altered visual perception and other CNS effects.
It is effective as single-dose treatment of patients with urethral and anorectal gonorrhea, but coexistent C. trachomatis infection is not eliminated from most patients and postgonococcal urethritis develops in up to 30%.
