Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride is the hydrochloride of ciprofloxacin, which is a synthetic second-generation quinolone antibacterial drug with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity and good bactericidal effect. It is 2 to 4 times stronger than enoxacin, and has antibacterial effects on Enterobacter, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Haemophilus influenzae, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Streptococcus, Legionella, and Staphylococcus aureus.
Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride is a new type of quinolone antibacterial drug. Its mechanism of action is that it can combine with bacterial DNA gyrase subunit A, thereby inhibiting the cleavage and linking functions of the enzyme, preventing the replication of bacterial DNA, and showing antibacterial effect.
Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride, C17H18FN3O3 •HCl•H2O, is a synthetic broad-spectrum antibacterial agent. Ciprofloxacin differs from other quinolones in that it has a fluorine atom at the 6-position, a piperazine moiety at the 7-position, and a cyclopropyl ring at the 1-position. it was the drug of choice forcombating anthrax.
Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (Cipro, 500-mg tablets) is highly active against the important bacterial causes of enteritis, including diarrheogenic Escherichia coli, Vibrio cholerae, Salmonella species, Shigella species, Campylobacter jejuni, Aeromonas species, and Yersinia enterocolitica.
Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that is widely used as an antimicrobial and immunomodulatory agent. Its range of activity includes most strains of bacterial pathogens capable of inducing respiratory, urinary tract, gastrointestinal, and abdominal infections. It functions by inhibiting DNA gyrase (a type II topoisomerase) and topoisomerase IV, the enzymes responsible for negative supercoiling of chromosomes and DNA strand separation, thus blocking initiation of bacterial replication. Most recently Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride has been used in the management of postexposure inhalational anthrax and radiation combined injury resulting from nuclear disasters.[Cayman Chemical]
ChEBI: Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (anhydrous) is the anhydrous form of the monohydrochloride salt of ciprofloxacin. It has a role as an EC 5.99.1.3 [DNA topoisomerase (ATP-hydrolysing)] inhibitor, an antibacterial drug, a topoisomerase IV inhibitor and an antiinfective agent. It contains a ciprofloxacin.

ciprofloxacin (hydrochloride) is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that has antimicrobial and immunomodulatory activities [1].ciprofloxacin functions by inhibiting dna gyrase and topoisomerase iv, the enzymes responsible for negative supercoiling of chromosomes and dna strand separation, thus blocking initiation of bacterial replication. topoisomerase iv is the primary target of ciprofloxacin in s. aureus [2].ciprofloxacin (hydrochloride) is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that acts as an antimicrobial and immunomodulatory agent. in b6d2f1/j mice received radiation combined injury (ci), ciprofloxacin significantly reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine and chemokine concentrations (il-6 and kc), and enhanced il-3 production. cip also inhibited ci-induced apoptosis and autophagy in ileal villi, systemic bacterial infection, and iga production [1]. ciprofloxacin (hydrochloride) had been approved by fda for management of postexposure inhalational anthrax. in animals after exposure to aerosolized b. anthracis, ciprofloxacin significantly improved survival rate. ciprofloxacin inhibited the growth of b. anthracis with mic90 of 0.06 μg/ml. in the usamriid rhesus monkey model of inhalational anthrax, the maximum concentration (cmax) of ciprofloxacin was 1.74 μg/ml and the minimum concentration (cmin) was 0.17 μg/ml [3].
The preparation method of ciprofloxacin HCl, its step is as follows:
a) cyclopropyl carboxylic acid is added in the organic solvent, and the adding piperazine, reacted 3～8 hours down as acid binding agent with alkali at 60～120 ℃, the monitoring cyclopropyl carboxylic acid is residual less than 2% o'clock termination reaction, stirring is cooled to 0～30 ℃, leaves standstill suction filtration;
b) add water and hydrochloric acid in the products therefrom toward a) step, under agitation be warming up to molten clearly, add activated carbon decolorizing, filtered while hot, and transfer filtrate pH to 2～4 with hydrochloric acid, and the cooling crystallization filters, rinsing, and drying makes ciprofloxacin HCl.
