Description

Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt form of a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic. This compound is a critical active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) valued for its potent bactericidal activity against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens. It is essential for pharmaceutical manufacturers producing oral and injectable antibiotic formulations. Our high-purity grade ensures reliability for demanding synthesis and formulation processes.

Application

• Pharmaceutical API: Primary use as the active ingredient in the manufacture of finished antibiotic dosage forms, including tablets, capsules, and sterile injectables.
• Veterinary Medicine: Formulation of antibacterial treatments for livestock, poultry, and companion animals.
• Research & Development: Serves as a key reference standard and starting material in microbiological research and the development of new antimicrobial agents.
• Intermediate Synthesis: Used in the chemical synthesis of more complex fluoroquinolone derivatives and prodrugs.
