Description

Enoxacin CAS NO 84294-96-2 is a synthetic broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic belonging to the second generation of this important pharmaceutical class. It is valued for its potent bactericidal activity against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. This compound is a critical active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and a key intermediate for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and life science industries.

Application

• Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API): Primary use in the formulation of antibiotic medications for treating various bacterial infections.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a crucial building block in the synthesis of more complex fluoroquinolone derivatives and final drug products.
• Research & Development: Used in microbiological and pharmacological studies to investigate antibacterial mechanisms, resistance patterns, and structure-activity relationships.
• Reference Standard: Employed as a high-purity analytical standard in quality control laboratories for HPLC, LC-MS, or other chromatographic methods to identify and quantify enoxacin in products.
• Veterinary Medicine: Potential application in developing antibacterial treatments for veterinary use.

Quality Control

Our Enoxacin is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for pharmaceutical research and development. We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for all shipments, detailing parameters such as assay, related substances, residual solvents, and identification.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed and away from moisture and direct light exposure to maintain stability and purity.
