Description

Whtie-Cream to Yellowish Crystalline Powder


Difloxacin is a quinolone that is pefloxacin in which the ethyl group at position 1 of the quinolone has been replaced by a p-fluorophenyl group. A broad-spectrum antibiotic effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, it is used (usually as the monohydrochloride salt) for the treatment of bacterial infections in dogs. It has a role as an antibacterial drug and a Mycoplasma genitalium metabolite. It is a quinolone, a N-alkylpiperazine, a N-arylpiperazine, a quinolone antibiotic, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, a member of monofluorobenzenes and a monocarboxylic acid.|Difloxacin is a synthetic fluoroquinolone used in veterinary. As an antibacterial, it presents a broad bactericidal spectrum and its effects are dependent on its concentration. However, it presents a reduced efficacy when compared to other fluoroquinolone antibacterials.
