Description

Norfloxacin Lactate is the lactate salt form of the broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic, Norfloxacin. This formulation enhances the solubility and bioavailability of the active pharmaceutical ingredient, making it a critical intermediate for advanced pharmaceutical manufacturing. It is primarily utilized by the pharmaceutical industry for the development and production of injectable and ophthalmic antibacterial formulations. The compound's efficacy against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria makes it essential for addressing serious systemic and localized infections.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Active Ingredient (API): Primary use as a key intermediate in the synthesis of finished dosage forms, particularly injectable solutions.
• Veterinary Medicine: Formulation of antibacterial treatments for livestock and companion animals.
• Ophthalmic Solutions: Manufacturing of eye drops and ointments for treating bacterial conjunctivitis and corneal ulcers.
• Research & Development: Serving as a reference standard and building block in antimicrobial research and new drug discovery projects.
• Bulk Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Sourcing for contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) producing generic antibacterial drugs.
