Published: July 2003

Derivative UV-spectrophotometric and liquid chromatographic (LC) methods for fleroxacin determination were validated. In the spectrophotometric assay, first-, second-, third-, and fourth-order measurements were applied with the use of peak-zero and peak-peak techniques. The linear correlation between amplitude of the peak and concentration of the examined drug ranged from 2.0 to 12.0 micro/mL. An isocratic LC analysis was performed on a Purospher ODS column with an acidic mobile phase containing tetrabutylammonium hydroxide. Measurements were made at a wavelength of 285 nm with 4-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) as internal standard. The calibration curve was linear (r = 0.9999) in the studied range of concentration (1.0-10.0 microg/mL). The accuracy (mean recovery, about 100%), precision (relative standard deviation < 1%), selectivity, and sensitivity of the elaborated methods were satisfactory.

A new nanopalladium surface molecularly imprinted covalent organic framework (MICOF) catalytic probe (Pd@TpPa) for enrofloxacin (ENR) was synthesized by molecular imprinting technology, using 1,3,5-triformylphloroglucinol (Tp) and p-phenylenediamine (Pa) as monomers, ENR as the template molecule, and palladium nanoparticles (PdNP) as the core of nanocatalytic probe. This nanoprobe not only specifically recognizes ENR but also catalyzes the cupric tartrate-glucose (GL) indicator reaction. The amino groups in TpPa replace the tartrate ions, forming a new complex with Cu.

This article responds to Dr. Shayanfar's comment "Improvement of photostability, solubility, hygroscopic stability and antimicrobial activity of fleroxacin by synthesizing fleroxacin-D-tartaric acid pharmaceutical salt". We rationalized and explained the solubility study portion of the published novel pharmaceutical salt (fleroxacin-D-tartaric acid, FL-D-TT).

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers synthesized a new salt called Fleroxacin-D-tartaric acid dihydrate (FL-D-TT) to enhance the solubility of the fluoroquinolone antibiotic fleroxacin (FL), using D/L-tartaric acid.
  • Structural analyses confirmed that D-tartaric acid interacts more effectively with FL, leading to a significant increase in solubility in water (up to 9.71 mg/mL) compared to FL alone (0.39 mg/mL).
  • The new compound also showed improved antimicrobial activity, hygroscopic stability, and photostability, making FL-D-TT a promising alternative for enhancing the efficacy of fleroxacin.

Objective: In order to explore the pathogen of the ulcerative skin disease in giant spiny frog (Quasipaa spinosa), and to provide theoretical basis for the prevention and control of the disease in practical production, this study was carried out to isolate and identify the pathogenic bacteria from the sick frogs suffering from rotting skin disease and to carry out the immunization test of the inactivated vaccine.

Methods: Physiological and biochemical characterization, and molecular biology of the pathogenic bacteria were identified, and drug screening and immunization responses were also carried out.

Results: The dominant bacterium QS01 was isolated from the lesions of diseased giant spiny frogs, which was confirmed to be the causative agent of the rotting skin disease of giant spiny frogs by artificial regression infection test.

Article Synopsis
  • Contamination of food and the environment by fluoroquinolones (FQs), particularly Ofloxacin (OFL), poses risks to public health and ecosystems.
  • A new screening strategy using computational chemistry allowed for the development of a highly specific monoclonal antibody (mAb-3B4) for OFL detection, which significantly improved sensitivity.
  • The study also constructed a single-chain variable fragment (scFv) targeting OFL and established advanced testing methods for real-world samples, contributing to better monitoring of FQs.
