Levofloxacin in vitro demonstrated bactericidal effect against susceptible and multi-drug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis: range of MICs was 0.25-0.5 mcg/mL, MBC-0.5-1.0 mcg/mL. Postantibiotic effect after 24-hour exposition to bactericidal concentrations was 35-39 days. Levofloxacin possesed low toxicity when tested in mice lungs tissue culture--maximum safety concentration was 50 mcg/mL. Bactericidal effect of levofloxacin started three days after exposition and was maximal by 7 days of incubation: by this time mycobacterial microcolonies destruction started with detritus formation. It is emphasized that lung cells kept their viability completely. Combination of levofloxacin with isoniazide or pirazinamide resulted in strong synergistic effect obvious after 5 days of incubation, mycobacterial colonies destruction was registered by 7th day. Combination of levofloxacin with rifampicin resulted in antagonistic effect obvious by 7th day of the contact: the resulting effect was statistically significant and was manifested as microcolonies number and size enlargement when compared to data for single levofloxacin.  相似文献

Levofloxacin (Tavanic) in the treatment of corneal ulcers]   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
The main clinical forms of cornea ulcers were systematized and high efficacy of levofloxacin in the treatment of bacterial ulcer of the cornea was shown. In the treatment of several bacterial affections of the eye the systemic use of levofloxacin should be combined with local antibiotic therapy. Combination of levofloxacin with ophthalmic drops of lomefloxacin (okacin) or ofloxacin (floxal) proved to be efficient.  相似文献

Fluoroquinolones have been known to exert modulatory activity on immune responses to microbial infection. However, the mechanism of this immunomodulation has not been well elucidated. In this study, we investigated the effect of levofloxacin on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced production of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) in RAW264.7 cells. We showed that LPS-stimulated release of pre-synthesized IL-1beta was promoted by levofloxacin, in part via the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. On the other hand, newly synthesized IL-1beta production was inhibited by levofloxacin. This immunoregulatory function of levofloxacin in the later phase as well as promotion of pre-synthesized IL-1beta release by levofloxacin in the early phase might be advantageous in the host defense to microbial pathogens.  相似文献

Inflammation resulting from chronic bacterial infection in the lung contributes to long-term pulmonary complications in chronic pulmonary infections such as cystic fibrosis. Aerosol administration of levofloxacin as in the form of the investigational formulation MP-376 results in higher concentrations in lung tissues that are higher than those that can be attained with oral or intravenous dosing of levofloxacin. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of high concentrations of levofloxacin achieved with aerosol administration of MP-376 on proinflammatory cytokine secretion by immortalized human bronchial epithelia cells in vitro. Additionally, we investigated the potential mechanisms of the immunomodulatory effect of levofloxacin. In vitro studies in human lung epithelial cell lines showed that levofloxacin led to a dose-related reduction in IL-6 and IL-8 concentrations, with 300 μg mL(-1) resulting in the reduction of levels of IL-6 by fourfold and IL-8 by twofold (P<0.05); in contrast, tobramycin increased IL-6 levels by 50%, but had no effect on IL-8. Levofloxacin treatment did not affect the cytokine mRNA level and nuclear factor-κB-dependent promoter activity. These findings suggest that high concentrations of levofloxacin obtained in pulmonary tissues following the administration of aerosol MP-376 may provide additional benefits in patients with chronic pulmonary infections that are independent of its antibacterial properties.  相似文献

Susceptibility of 92 strains of mycobacteria to levofloxacin (5, 10 and 50 mcg/mL) was investigated by indirect method of absolute concentrations on Levenstain-Jensen media. The investigation was performed on 85 strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolated from 83 patients with different types of tuberculosis and also on drug-sensitive laboratory strains of M. tuberculosis H37Rv-M, H37Rv-GISK, Academia, M. bovis-bovinus 8, M. bovis BCG and on two strains of M. fortuitum with total resistance to antimycobacterial agents. 87.8 per cent of clinical isolates were multi-drug resistant. From one patient treated with ciprofloxacin two strains of M. tuberculosis were isolated--one resistant to 5 mcg/mL of levofloxacin and second strain-resistant to 10 mcg/mL of levofloxacin. All other clinical and laboratory strains of mycobacteria (97.8 per cent) were susceptible to all three concentrations of levofloxacin.  相似文献

Backgrounds: The levofloxacin resistance caused by gyrA gene mutation is rising rapidly to limit wide application for Helicobacter pylori eradication. We investigated whether gemifloxacin has a superior antimicrobial activity to levofloxacin against H. pylori. Materials and Methods: Forty‐four consecutive clinical H. pylori isolates with levofloxacin resistance and 80 randomly selected levofloxacin‐sensitive controls were tested for gemifloxacin sensitivity by E‐test. The resistance to levofloxacin or gemifloxacin was defined as minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) >1 mg/L. The clinical features and GyrA mutation patterns checked by direct sequencing were also analyzed to assess its association with the H. pylori gemifloxacin resistance. Results: All levofloxacin‐sensitive H. pylori isolates were sensitive to gemifloxacin. Eight strains (18.2%) resistant to levofloxacin could be still sensitive to gemifloxacin. Gemifloxacin achieved a 5‐time lower in MIC levels against levofloxacin‐resistant isolates. Nearly all levofloxacin‐resistant isolates (97.7%, 43/44) had GyrA mutation at amino acid position 87 or 91. Double mutation sites may play dual roles in quinolone resistance, as N87K plus H57Y or D91N plus V77A mutations showed high‐level resistance to both quinolones; whereas D91Y plus A97V or D91N plus A97V mutations showed low level levofloxacin resistance to become sensitive to gemifloxacin. In H. pylori isolates with single N87K, D91Y or D91N mutation, near 20% was gemifloxacin‐sensitive and levofloxacin‐resistant. The gemifloxacin‐resistant rate of H. pylori was higher in patients with gastric ulcer than in those without (p <.05). Conclusion: Gemifloxacin is superior to levofloxacin in antimicrobial activity against clinical H. pylori isolates, and even overcome some levofloxacin resistance.  相似文献

Activity of levofloxacin (Tavanic) against 10 species of nontuberculosis of mycobacteria was investigated by indirect method of absolute concentrations on Levenstain-Jensen media (levofloxacin concentration 5 and mcg/mL). The investigation was performed on 71 strains of nontubercolosis mycobacteria: Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare--24 strains, M. fortuitum--17 strains, M. chelonae--10 strains, M. malmoense--13 strains and 6 other species of mycobacteria. Susceptible to critical levofloxacin concentration were 8 species of 10. Resistance to levofloxacin (10 mcg/mL) was estimated for 16.7 per cent of M. avium-intracellulare and 30 per cent of M. chelonei strains. It is concluded that levofloxacin may be a drug of choice for management of mycobacteriosis caused by M. fortuitum, M. kansasii, M. xenopi, M. malmoense, and in the most of cases due to M. avium-intracellulare and M. chelonae.  相似文献

Chemical synthesis of 3-substituted analogues of remantadine is described. Derivatives IIIb and IIIc when compared with remantadine had not only potent activity against ethalon herpes simplex type 1 virus strain but also were active against herpes virus resistant to aciclovir. Compound IIIc demonstrated virulecidal effect. Combination of IIIc + aciclovir had additive effect against ethalon herpes simplex type 1 virus strain. Investigated 3-substituted analogues demonstrated low activity in the model system of influenzae virus. No antiviral activity was demonstrated in the model system of Syndbys virus (though compounds were evaluated in subtoxic concentrations).  相似文献

The effect of pH and substrate dose on the fermentation profile of a number of commercial prebiotics was analysed in triplicate using stirred, pH and temperature controlled anaerobic batch culture fermentations, inoculated with a fresh faecal slurry from one of three healthy volunteers. Bacterial numbers were enumerated using fluorescence in situ hybridisation. The commercial prebiotics investigated were fructooligosaccharides (FOS), inulin, galactooligosaccharides (GOS), isomaltooligosaccharides (IMO) and lactulose. Two pH values were investigated, i.e. pH 6 and 6.8. Doses of 1% and 2% (w/v) were investigated, equivalent to approximately 4 and 8 g per day, respectively, in an adult diet. It was found that both pH and dose altered the bacterial composition. It was observed that FOS and inulin demonstrated the greatest bifidogenic effect at pH 6.8 and 1% (w/v) carbohydrate, whereas GOS, IMO and lactulose demonstrated their greatest bifidogenic effect at pH 6 and 2% (w/v) carbohydrate. From this we can conclude that various prebiotics demonstrate differing bifidogenic effects at different conditions in vitro.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To identify the optimal dosage of levofloxacin to eradicate persistent Helicobacter pylori when triple therapy with amoxicillin, clarithromycin, and omeprazole fails. METHODS: We investigated 124 patients whose triple therapy including clarithromycin had failed. Clarithromycin resistance was indirectly assessed by the (13)C-urea breath test, with a post-treatment value cut-off point at 15. All patients were randomly divided into two groups, to receive 1-week amoxicillin 1 g and lansoprazole 30 mg twice daily, plus either levofloxacin 500 mg once (ALL-500 group) or twice daily (ALL-1000 group). Six weeks later, the (13)C-urea breath test was repeated to assess whether H. pylori was eradicated. RESULTS: Intention-to-treat (ITT) and per-protocol (PP) analysis showed no difference in H. pylori eradication rates in both the ALL-500 and ALL-1000 groups (ITT: 79% vs. 80.6%, p > .05; PP: 86% vs. 87.5%, p > .05). For both groups, the per-protocol H. pylori eradication rates were also similarly high between patients with a post-treatment value of (13)C-urea breath test < or = 15 and those with a value > 15 (ALL-500: 85% vs. 86.5%, p > .05; ALL-1000: 88.9% vs. 86.8%, p > .05). CONCLUSION: One-week levofloxacin 500 mg daily-based triple therapy is effective for eradicating the persistent H. pylori after a failed triple therapy with amoxicillin, clarithromycin, and omeprazole.  相似文献

In this study, we investigated the effects of light on both the locomotion of intact animals and the swim motor program expressed by isolated brains in the gastropod Melibe leonina. Spontaneous locomotion (crawling and swimming) was examined during a period of natural lighting (L:D) to establish normal behavior, and then under two different light regimes: constant darkness (D:D) and constant light (L:L). In L:D, there was significantly more locomotor activity at night than during the day and this pattern continued in D:D. However, in L:L, activity was substantially reduced at all times. Using isolated brain preparations, we further demonstrated that the swim motor program was rapidly inhibited by light, and that this inhibition was mediated by the eyes. These results indicate that M. leonina displays a nocturnal activity pattern, and that light has a strong inhibitory effect on locomotion in the intact animal and on the swim motor program expressed by the isolated brain.  相似文献

The effect of the main psychoactive component of marihuana, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) was investigated on the onset of puberty and on the reproductive function in female rats up to the seventy-fifth to eightieth day of life. The drug was administered i.p. at a dose of 1 microgram/kg/day between the twenty-second postnatal day and the day of vaginal opening (V.O.). The administration of THC caused a 2-day delay in V. O., and the number of ova on the day of first estrus was significantly lower in treated rats than in controls. No differences were observed in serum gonadotropin and prolactin (PRL) levels on the day of V. O. After puberty, alterations occurred in the neuroendocrine functions of animals receiving THC that persisted until adulthood: estrous cycles were irregular, the number of ova in animals killed 35-40 days after V. O. was reduced, and serum luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels were decreased (diminution of serum FSH content was less expressed). An increase in serum PRL concentration could be demonstrated only in animals killed on the day of estrus. From these results, it might be concluded that THC administered to prepubertal rats--even in a very low dose--causes long-term irreversible alterations in reproductive functions. The importance of the fight against drug abuse is emphasized.  相似文献

In this work, molecularly imprinted magnetic carbon nanotubes (MCNTs@MIPs) was prepared with surface imprinting technique for extraction of levofloxacin in serum samples. The preparation of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) used levofloxacin as template, methacrylic acid as functional monomer, and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as cross‐linker, and the magnetic carbon nanotubes (MCNTs) was synthesized by solvothermal method. The prepared polymers not only can be separated and collected easily by an external magnetic, but also exhibited high specific surface area and high selectivity to template molecules. Kinetic adsorption and static adsorption capacity investigations indicated that the synthesized MCNTs@MIPs had excellent recognition towards levofloxacin. Furthermore, magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE) using the prepared MCNTs@MIPs as sorbent was then investigated, and an efficient sample cleanup was obtained with recoveries ranged from 78.7 ± 4.8 % to 83.4 ± 4.1%. In addition, several parameters, including the pH of samples, the amount of MCNTs@MIPs, the adsorption and desorption times, and the eluent, were investigated to obtain optimal extraction efficiency. Under the optimal extraction conditions, the stability of the polymer was also evaluated, and the average recovery reduced less than 7.6% after 5 cycles. MCNTs@MIPs successfully applied in the preconcentration and determination of levofloxacin in serum sample suggested that the MSPE method based on the novel polymers could be a promising alternative for selective and efficient extraction of trace amounts of pharmaceutical substances in bio‐matrix samples.

A comparison was made of the effects of cis-tetrachlorodiaminoplatinum (IV) (cis-TCDPt), rans-TCDPt), and hexachloroplatinum (HCP) on growth and cell division of Escherichia coli strains D21 and D22. At or below 40 microgram/mL, cis-TCDPt inhibited cell division but not growth, DNA, or protein synthesis, although areas of increased electron density could be demonstrated in treated cells. In contrast, 40 microgram/mL of trans-TCDPt or HCP inhibited growth. Trans-TCDPt-treated cells developed condensed nucleoids; HCP-treated cells showed no obvious cytological changes to correlate with growth inhibition. Combination of cis-TCDPt with nalidixic acid, both at one-half the lowest filament-forming concentrations, resulted in formation of filaments, suggesting an additive effect. Combination of cis-TCDPt followed by ampicillin on E. coli B/r resulted in single bulges near the center of the filaments. Cis-TCDPt could therefore inhibit an initial step in the septation sequence, possibly at the level of the regulation of the hydrolytic enzymes. Whether cis-TCDPt exerts its effect by interreaction with DNA or with a membrane target is still uncertain.  相似文献

The effects of gentamicin sulphate, thiamphenicol, ofloxacin, levofloxacin, cefepime, and cefazolin were investigated on the in vitro enzyme activity of glutathione reductase. The enzyme was purified 1,850-fold with a yield 18.76% from sheep liver using ammonium sulphate precipitation, 2',5'-ADP Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography, and Sephadex G-200 gel filtration chromatography. The purified enzyme showed a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrilamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The enzyme activity was measured spectrophotometrically at 340 nm, according to the method of Carlberg and Mannervik. From these six antibiotics, Ofloxacin, levofloxacin, cefepime, and cefazolin inhibited the activity of the purified enzyme; gentamicin sulphate and thiamphenicol showed little effect on the enzyme activity. The I50 values for these four antibiotics were 0.150 mM, 0.154 mM, 3.395 mM, and 18.629 mM, respectively. The Ki constants were 0.047 +/- 0.034 mM, 0.066 +/- 0.038 mM, 4.885 +/- 3.624 mM, and 6.511 +/- 1.894 mM, respectively and they were competitive inhibitors.  相似文献
