Description

Sarafloxacin is a synthetic fluoroquinolone antibiotic with potent antibacterial activity. It is valued for its broad-spectrum efficacy against a wide range of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, making it a critical active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). This compound is primarily utilized in the veterinary pharmaceutical industry for the treatment and prevention of bacterial infections in livestock and aquaculture. Sarafloxacin CAS NO 98105-99-8 is essential for formulators and manufacturers developing effective therapeutic solutions for animal health.

Application

• Veterinary Pharmaceuticals: Primary API for injectable and oral formulations to treat systemic bacterial infections in poultry, swine, and cattle.
• Aquaculture Health Management: Used in medicated feeds or water treatments to control bacterial diseases in farmed fish and shrimp.
• Respiratory Infection Treatment: Effective against pathogens causing respiratory tract infections in various animal species.
• Gastrointestinal Infection Control: Targets enteric bacteria responsible for diarrheal diseases in livestock.
• Research & Development: Serves as a reference standard and key intermediate in the synthesis of novel antimicrobial agents.
• Veterinary Feed Additives: Incorporated into premixes for prophylactic use in animal herds.
