 Gatifloxacin sesquihydrate INN 0.3% eye drop. 5ml drop: 100.00 MRP


Description

Gatiflox eye drops is an 8-methoxyfluoroquinolone anti-infective for topical ophthalmic use. The antibacterial action of Gatifloxacin results from inhibition of DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. DNA gyrase is an essential enzyme that is involved in the replication, transcription and repair of bacterial DNA. Topoisomerase IV is an enzyme known to play a key role in the partitioning of the chromosomal DNA during bacterial cell division. It appears that the C-8-methoxy moiety contributes to enhanced activity and lower selection of resistant mutants of gram-positive bacteria compared to the nonmethoxy C-8 moiety.
