Cinoxacin

Биологическая активность

Cinoxacin was an older synthetic antimicrobial related to the quinolone class of antibiotics with activity similar to oxolinic acid and nalidixic acid. It was commonly used thirty years ago to treat urinary tract infections in adults. There are reports that cinoxacin had also been used to treat initial and recurrent urinary tract infections and bacterial prostatitis in dogs however this veterinary use was never approved by the FDA. In complicated UTI, the older gyrase-inhibitors such as cinoxacin are no longer indicated.
