Biological Activity

[Description]:

Levofloxacin ((-)-Ofloxacin) hydrochloride is an orally active antibiotic and is active against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Levofloxacin hydrochloride inhibits the DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. Levofloxacin hydrochloride can be used for chronic periodontitis, airway inflammation and BK Viremia research[1][2][3][4].
