Description

Droxacin Sodium CAS NO 57363-13-0 is a synthetic antibacterial agent belonging to the fluoroquinolone class. This compound is valued for its broad-spectrum activity against a wide range of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. It is primarily utilized in the pharmaceutical industry for the research, development, and manufacturing of veterinary and human antibiotic formulations.

Application

• Veterinary Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: A key active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in formulations for treating bacterial infections in livestock and companion animals.
• Human Pharmaceutical Research: Serves as a critical intermediate or reference standard in the development of new fluoroquinolone-based antibiotic drugs.
• Antibacterial Agent Synthesis: Used as a building block in the chemical synthesis of more complex fluoroquinolone derivatives.
• Microbiological Studies: Employed in laboratory research to study bacterial resistance mechanisms and the efficacy of quinolone antibiotics.
• Reference Standard: Acts as a high-purity standard for quality control and analytical testing (HPLC, spectroscopy) in pharmaceutical production.
