Ciprofloxacin lactate was used as standard in Rayleigh scattering technique to determine the amount of the antibiotic in various drugs.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ciproflaxacin is a fluoroquinolone and a broad-spectrum activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The mode of action of ciprofloxacin involves the inhibition DNA gyrase and subsequent inhibition of replication by tight DNA binding. Pathogens resistant to multiple antibiotics have been found to be susceptible to Ciproflaxacin.

Ciprofloxacin, considered a benchmark when comparing new fluoroquinolones, shares with these agents a common mechanism of action: inhibition of DNA gyrase. While ciprofloxacin demonstrated a fairly good activity against gram-positive bacteria, it is against gram-negative organisms that it proved to

In the current practices of anti-infective therapy, ciprofloxacin is a very popular fluoroquinolone having a broad spectrum of activity and diverse therapeutic prospects. The reasons for its wide use include multiresistant pathogens susceptible only to ciprofloxacin. The available clinical evidence
