Description

Gatifloxacin Mesylate is the mesylate salt form of the fourth-generation fluoroquinolone antibiotic, gatifloxacin. This high-purity active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is critical for ensuring the efficacy and safety of finished pharmaceutical formulations. It is primarily required by pharmaceutical manufacturers and research institutions for the development and production of potent antibacterial medications targeting a broad spectrum of pathogens.

Application

• Pharmaceutical API: Primary use as the active ingredient in the manufacture of antibacterial injectable and ophthalmic solutions.
• Antibacterial Drug Formulations: Used in developing medications for treating complicated infections, including respiratory, urinary tract, and certain sexually transmitted diseases.
• Ophthalmic Preparations: Key component in eye drop formulations for treating bacterial conjunctivitis and corneal ulcers.
• Research & Development: Serves as a reference standard and building block in microbiological and pharmacological research for novel antibiotic studies.
• Veterinary Medicine: Potential application in developing antibacterial treatments for veterinary use, subject to regional regulatory approvals.

Quality Control

Our Gatifloxacin Mesylate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for pharmaceutical applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with specifications for identity, purity, and impurity profiles.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept in a dry environment to prevent degradation. The container should be kept tightly sealed when not in use.
