Description

Lomefloxacin CAS NO 98079-51-7 is a synthetic broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic belonging to the third generation of its class. It is valued for its potent activity against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including those resistant to other antibiotics. This compound is primarily utilized in the pharmaceutical industry for the research, development, and synthesis of antibacterial medications.

Application

• Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) for the formulation of oral and ophthalmic antibacterial drugs.
• Research Chemical in microbiological and pharmacological studies to investigate bacterial resistance mechanisms.
• Reference Standard in quality control laboratories for analytical method development and validation.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of more complex fluoroquinolone derivatives and prodrugs.
• Veterinary Pharmaceutical Development for creating treatments for bacterial infections in animals.

Quality Control

Our Lomefloxacin is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, identification by IR and NMR spectroscopy, and tests for related substances and residual solvents. We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for all shipments to ensure compliance with your research and development specifications.

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). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture.
