Ofloxacin
Ofloxacin (CAS: 82419-36-1) is a small-molecule inhibitor targeting bacterial DNA gyrase (topoisomerase II) and topoisomerase IV, thereby blocking bacterial DNA replication and transcription. In in vitro studies, ofloxacin demonstrates inhibitory activity, with reported IC50 values ranging from 0.5 to 10 μg/mL depending on bacterial strain variability and experimental conditions. Ofloxacin holds research potential in microbiological and pharmaceutical studies, such as bacterial resistance research, evaluation of bacterial enzyme inhibition, susceptibility assay validation, and investigation of bacterial gene regulation and replication mechanisms.
