| DrugBank Description: | Delafloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic which has been used in trials studying the treatment and basic science of Gonorrhea, Hepatic Impairment, Bacterial Skin Diseases, Skin Structure Infections, and Community Acquired Pneumonia, among others. It was approved in June 2017 under the trade name Baxdela for use in the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections. |
| CAS Number: | 189279-58-1 |
| Molecular Weight: | 440.76 |
| DrugBank Indication: | Delafloxacin is indicated for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections caused by the Gram-positive organisms Staphylococcus aureus (including methicillin-resistant and methicillin-susceptible isolates), Staphylococcus haemolyticus, Staphylococcus lugdunensis, Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus anginosus Group (including Streptococcus anginosus, Streptococcus intermedius, and Streptococcus constellatus), Streptococcus pyogenes, and Enterococcus faecalis as well as the Gram-negative organisms Escherichia coli, Enterobacter cloacae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa . |
| DrugBank Pharmacology: | Delafloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibacterial drug which kills bacterial cells . |
| DrugBank MoA: | Delafloxacin inhibits the activity of bacterial DNA topoisomerase IV and DNA gyrase (topoisomerase II) . This interferes with bacterial DNA replication by preventing the relaxation of positive supercoils introduced as part of the elongation process . The resultant strain inhibits further elongation. Delafloxacin exerts concentration-dependent bacteriocidal activity . |
| Targets: | DNA topoisomerase 4 subunit A inhibitor; DNA gyrase subunit A inhibitor |
| Inclusion Criteria: | Indication associated |

| I01 | 552 | Pneumonia | A lung disease that involves lung parenchyma or alveolar inflammation and abnormal alveolar filling with fluid (consolidation and exudation). It results from a variety of causes including infection with bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites, and chemical or physical injury to the lungs. It is accompanied by fever, chills, cough, and difficulty in breathing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumonia | disease of anatomical entity/respiratory system disease/ lower respiratory tract disease/lung disease | Details |
