Delafloxacin Meglumine molecular structure

Delafloxacin Meglumine

Also known as: Baxdela

CAS Number: 352458-37-8

Fluoroquinolone Antibacterial (Anionic)

Mechanism of Action

Delafloxacin inhibits DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV with balanced dual targeting, and its weakly acidic anionic structure, lacking a protonatable amine, increases the un-ionised fraction and potency at the acidic pH of abscesses and infected skin. This pH-shifted potency profile is unusual among quinolones and extends activity to MRSA. Killing is bactericidal and concentration dependent.

Specifications are indicative and intended for sourcing reference only. Always confirm against the supplier's Certificate of Analysis and the applicable pharmacopeial monograph before issuing a purchase specification.

Typical Applications

Lyophilised powder for intravenous infusion and oral tablets. The meglumine salt provides the aqueous solubility needed for the parenteral presentation, so sterile-grade API supply is central to this molecule.
