Flumequine-13C3

Description: Flumequine-13C3is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of flumequine by GC- or LC-MS. Flumequine is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic.1It is active againstS. aureus, S. pyogenes, B. subtilis, E. coli, P. aeruginosa, S. faecalis, andK. pneumoniae(MICs = 1-100 µg/ml). Flumequine is also active against field isolates of B. hyodysenteriae (MICs = 6.25-200 µg/ml).2It inhibits DNA gyrase, disrupting supercoiling of bacterial DNA to block transcription and replication.3. Smiles: CC1CCc2cc(F)cc3c2n1c[13c]([13C](O)=O)[13c]3=O. References: Rohlfing, S.R., Gerster, J.R., and Kvam, D.C.Bioevaluation of the antibacterial flumequine for urinary tract useAntimicrob.
