Description

Orbifloxacin CAS NO 119354-10-8 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 many resistant strains. This makes it a critical active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) primarily for the veterinary pharmaceutical industry, where it is formulated into solutions and tablets for the treatment of bacterial infections in companion animals and livestock.

Application

• Veterinary Pharmaceutical Formulations: Primary use as the active ingredient in injectable solutions, tablets, and topical preparations for pets and livestock.
• Companion Animal Medicine: Treatment of skin, soft tissue, and urinary tract infections in dogs and cats caused by susceptible organisms.
• Livestock Health Management: Used to control and treat respiratory diseases, mastitis, and other bacterial infections in cattle, swine, and poultry.
• Aquaculture: Potential application in treating bacterial diseases in farmed fish and shellfish.
• Research & Development: Serves as a reference standard and key intermediate in pharmaceutical R&D for novel antimicrobial agents.
• Generic Drug Manufacturing: Sourcing for companies producing generic veterinary medicinal products containing orbifloxacin.
