    Sitafloxacin Hydrate

    ₱38,001.27

    Sitafloxacin Hydrate is a broad-spectrum fluoroquinoline antibiotic that is particularly active against Gram-positive bacteria such as a pneumococci.

    Mechanism of Action Sitafloxacin has been shown to have a dual targeted mechanism of action. Other antibacterial quinolones target DNA gyrase or topoisomerase IV, but sitafloxacin targets both at a very similar rate. This double-target approach lowers the possibility of resistant strains.
    Molecular Formula C19H18ClF2N3O3•  1.5H2O
