Lascufloxacin

A pharmacodynamic study using a mouse thigh infection model indicates that the ratios of the free area under the curve (fAUC) to MIC in plasma required for bacteriostasis, or 1-log or 2-log CFU killing against S. pneumoniae isolates, are 10, 16, and 28, respectively. Lascufloxacin shows significant bacterial killing in the mouse model when emulated the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) in plasma in dose of 75 mg per day [q.d.]) ^[2].
