Sitafloxacin Sesquihydrate

BeschreibungThe fluoroquinolone antibacterial agent sitafloxacin hydrate was developed by Daiichi Sankyo and was approved and launched last year in Japan. Sitafloxacin’s mode of action is through inhibition of DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. It is indicated for the treatment of inflammatory infections such as laryngopharyngitis, adenoiditis, acute bronchitis, pneumonia, secondary infections due to chronic respiratory lesions, cystitis, pyelonephritis, urethritis, cervicitis, otitismedia, sinusitis, periodontitis, and pericoronitis and jaw inflammation.
