Properties: It occurs as white to pale cream, crystalline or microcrystalline, odorless or almost
odorless powder with melting point 170.5°C. It is practically insoluble in water; freely soluble in
acetone; and soluble in alcohol, chloroform, ether, isopropyl alcohol, methyl alcohol, and
propylene glycol.
Pharmacological Uses: Miconazole is generally used to treat mucosal yeast infections, involving
both oral and vaginal infections. Externally, it is used for the treatment of ringworm including
jock itch and athlete’s foot. Internally, it is used for oral or vaginal thrush (yeast infection). The
oral gel may also be used for the lip disorder, angular cheilitis and other associated systems.
It may be given by mouth for the treatment of oral and intestinal candidiasis.
Topical miconazole is used to treat:

11.2 URINARY TRACT ANTI-INFECTIVE AGENTS
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection in any part of urinary system and involves
kidneys, urethra, ureters and bladder. Most infections involve the lower urinary tract – the bladder
and the urethra. Most of the UTIs are caused by bacteria. However, several are caused by fungi
and in atypical cases by viruses. UTIs are among the most common infections in humans.

Anti-infective Agents 283
Symptoms of UTIs:
The symptoms of a lower UTI involves burning feeling with urination, frequent urination
without passing much urine, bloody urine, Feeling tired, urine has a strong odors, fever or chills,
pain or pressure in your back or lower abdomen.
Types of UTIs:
An infection can occur in different parts of urinary tract. There are different types of UTI
based on where it is:
➢ Urethritis (urethra): Infection of the urethra
➢ Cystitis (bladder): Infection of the bladder
➢ Pyelonephritis (kidneys): Infection of the kidneys
➢ Vaginitis: Infection of the vagina.

Ciprofloxacin is a second generation broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic, more active
against Gram-negative bacteria than Gram-positive bacteria. It is a quinolone that is quinolin-
4(1H)-one bearing cyclopropyl, carboxylic acid, fluoro and piperazin-1-yl substituents at
positions 1, 3, 6 and 7, respectively. The structural formula of Ciprofloxacin is:
IUPAC Name: 1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-4-oxo-7-piperazin-1-ylquinoline-3-carboxylic acid
Properties: It is faint to light yellow crystalline powder with melting point 255°C to 257°C. It is
soluble in water, soluble in hydrochloric acid and practically insoluble in ethanol.
Uses:
➢ It is used for the treatment and prevention of urinary tract infections, lower respiratory
tract infections, and skin infections.
➢ It is widely used in the therapy of mild-to-moderate urinary and respiratory tract
infections caused by susceptible organisms.
➢ It is used in adults for the treatment of bone and joint infections, including osteomyelitis.
Storage: Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride ophthalmic solution and ophthalmic ointment should be
stored in tight, light-resistant containers at 2-25°C. Its hydrochloride and hydrocortisone otic
suspension should be stored in light-resistant containers below 25°C. Freezing should be avoided.
Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride tablets should be stored in tight containers at a temperature <30°C.

Anti-infective Agents 285
11.2.3 Ofloxacin
Brand Names: Floxin, Floxin IV
Ofloxacin is synthetic fluoroquinolone antibacterial agent, used to treat bacterial infections of
the skin, lungs, prostate, or urinary tract (bladder and kidneys). It is an oxazinoquinolone carrying
carboxy, fluoro, methyl and 4-methylpiperazino substituents. The structural formula of Ofloxacin:
IUPAC Name: (±)-9-fluoro-2, 3-dihydro-3-methyl-10-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-7-oxo-7H-pyrido
[1,2,3-de]-1,4-benzoxazine-6-carboxylic acid
Properties: Ofloxacin occurs as off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder; colorless needles
from ethanol. It is sparingly to slightly soluble in aqueous solutions with pH 7 (solubility falls to 4
mg/mL) and freely soluble in aqueous solutions with pH above 9.
Uses:
➢ Ofloxacin is used to treat infections like pneumonia, infections of the skin, bladder,
reproductive organs, and prostate (a male reproductive gland).
➢ It is also used to treat other types of infections, bronchitis, including legionnaires’ disease
(type of lung infection).
➢ It is used in certain sexually transmitted diseases, and infections of the bones and joints
and of the stomach and intestines.
➢ It is used in the treatment of acute pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
➢ It is used in adults for the treatment of non-gonococcal urethritis and cervicitis caused by
Chlamydia trachomatis.
➢ It is used in adults for the treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs)
(cystitis).
Dosage Forms: Oral tablet (200 mg, 300 mg and 400 mg)
Storage: It should be stored in tight, light-resistant container as defined in the USP-NF. Its
ophthalmic solution and otic solution should be stored at 15-30°C.
11.2.4 Moxifloxacin
Brand Names: Avalox, Avelon, Avelox, Bacterol, Izilox, Megaxin, Moxif, Vigamox.
Moxifloxacin is a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic that consists of 4-oxo-1,4-
dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid bearing a cyclopropyl substituent at position 1, a fluoro
substituent at position 6, a-octahydro-6H-pyrrolo, pyridin-6-yl group at position 7 and a methoxy
substituent at position 8.

286 Text Book of Pharmaceutical Chemistry
IUPAC Name: 7-[(4aS,7aS)-1,2,3,4,4a,5,7,7a-octahydropyrrolo[3,4-b]pyridin-6-yl]-1-cyclopropyl-
6-fluoro-8-methoxy-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid; hydrochloride
Properties: Moxifloxacin is almost white to yellowish crystalline powder. It is soluble in water
(2.4 g/100 ml), methanol and DMSO. Its melting point is 324°C to 325°C.
Mechanism of Action: Moxifloxacin is active against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative
bacteria. It functions by inhibiting DNA gyrase, a type II topoisomerase, and topoisomerase IV,
enzymes necessary to separate bacterial DNA, resulting in inhibition of DNA replication, and
repair and cell death in sensitive bacterial species.
Uses:
➢ Moxifloxacin is used for the treatment of number of infections, including respiratory tract
infection, cellulites, anthrax, intra-abdominal infections, endocarditis, meningitis and
tuberculosis.
➢ It is used for the treatment of acute bacterial sinusitis caused by susceptible Streptococcus
pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, or Moraxella catarrhalis.
➢ It is used for the treatment of uncomplicated skin and skin structure infections caused by
susceptible S. aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes.
➢ It is used for the treatment of complicated skin and skin structure infections caused by
susceptible S. aureus, E. coli and K. pneumonia.
Dosage Forms:
➢ Intravenous solution (400 mg/250 ml);
➢ Oral tablet (400 mg)
Storage: It should be stored at 25°C in tight, light-resistant container as defined in the USP-NF.
This material should be handled and stored per label instructions to ensure product integrity.
11.3 ANTI-TUBERCULAR AGENTS
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that usually affects the lungs. It can also spread to
other parts of the body. The bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. bovis are the main
causative agents of tuberculosis. The bacteria primarily attack the lungs, but they can also damage
other parts of the body such as the kidney, spine, and brain. Tuberculosis is mainly an airborne
infection, which spreads from one person to other through the air. When someone with
tuberculosis coughs, spit, speak, or sneeze, tiny droplets containing the bacteria are released and
infect the healthy person.
