Moxifloxacin is a synthetic fluoroquinolone antibiotic agent. Bayer AG developed the drug and sells it worldwide (as the hydrochloride) under the brand name Avelox® (in some countries also Avalox®) for oral treatment. Each tablet contains 400mg. In most countries the drug is also available in parenteral form for intravenous infusion. Currently, the drug is very popular.

Mode of action


Like other fluoroquinolones, moxifloxacin inhibits the bacterial enzyme DNA gyrase (topoisomerase IV) and thus prevents supercoiling of bacterial DNA. This mechanism is lethal to susceptible bacteria. Moxifloxacin is often referred to as a chemotherapeutic drug because its mode of action has so far not been noted in any natural occurring or semi-synthetic antibiotic.

Distribution


Moxifloxacin is found in high concentrations in body tissues and fluids, such as saliva, nasal and bronchial secrets, sinus mucosa, skin blister fluid, subcutaneous and muscle tissues. Pus does not seem to inhibit the drug's potential to reach effective concentrations in infectious foci easily.
