Description

General description

Chemical structure: fluoroquinolone

Norfloxacin is a broad spectrum antibiotic, which is used against a wide variety of gram positive and gram negative bacteria.

Application

Norfloxacin may be used as a standard in the determination of norfloxacin in human serum samples using fluorometric spectrophotometry.

Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Norfloxacin blocks DNA replication by interfering with an ATP-induced structural transition of DNA complexed with DNA gyrase (topoisomerase).
Mode of action: inhibits bacterial DNA replication
Antimicrobial spectrum: Gram-negative bacteria; less effective against Gram-positive bacteria
