Fluoroquinolone antibacterial agent. Derivative of norfloxacin with dramatically improved water solubility. Instantly dissociates into norfloxacin and nicotinic acid in the body therefore acting as norfloxacin. Inhibits bacterial DNA replication by interfering with an ATP-induced structural transition of DNA complexed with DNA gyrase (topoisomerase). Effective against Gram-negative bacteria; less effective against Gram-positive bacteria.
