Description

Orbifloxacin CAS NO 113617-63-3 is a synthetic fluoroquinolone antibiotic belonging to the third generation of this potent class of antimicrobial agents. It is valued for its broad-spectrum activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including strains resistant to other antibiotics. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the veterinary pharmaceutical industry, where it is formulated into various dosage forms for the treatment of bacterial infections in companion animals and livestock.

Application

• Veterinary Pharmaceutical Formulations: Primary active ingredient in injectable solutions, tablets, and topical preparations for dogs and cats.
• Treatment of Skin and Soft Tissue Infections: Effective against pyoderma, wounds, and abscesses caused by susceptible organisms.
• Management of Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Used to treat cystitis and other urogenital infections in small animals.
• Respiratory Infection Control: Applied in formulations targeting bronchitis and pneumonia in pets.
• Otitis Externa Treatment: A key component in ear drop solutions for bacterial ear infections.
• Research & Development: Serves as a reference standard and building block in antimicrobial research and new drug development.
