Biological Activity of Levofloxacin

DescriptionLevofloxacin, a synthetic fluoroquinolone, is an antibacterial agent that inhibits the supercoiling activity of bacterial DNA gyrase, halting DNA replication. Target: Antibacterial Levofloxacin reduced bacterial load compared with placebo by 4.9-fold (95% confidence interval, 1.4-25.7; P=0.02) at day 7 but had no effect at any point on any marker of neutrophilic airway inflammation. In patients with a baseline bacterial load of more than 10(6) cfu/mL, levofloxacin treatment was associated with a 26.5% (95% confidence interval, 1.8%-51.3%; P=0.04) greater reduction in the percentage neutrophil count compared with placebo at day 7 [1]. Levofloxacin was found to significantly improve the clinical and microbiological parameters in CP individuals [2]. A 30-day course of levofloxacin does not significantly improve BK viral load reduction or allograft function when used in addition to overall reduction of immunosuppression [3].

Meropenem, levofloxacin and linezolid in human plasma of critical care patients: A fast semi-automated micro-extraction by packed sorbent UHPLC-PDA method for their simultaneous determination.[Pubmed:28371721]

J Pharm Biomed Anal. 2017 Jun 5;140:266-273.

An ultra high-performance liquid chromatographic (UHPLC) method with PDA detection was developed and validated for the simultaneous quantification of meropenem, linezolid, and Levofloxacin in human plasma and applied in human plasma of critical care patients. A semi-automated microextraction by packed sorbent (MEPS) for sample preparation was used. All parameters in the extraction step (pH, sample volume, sample dilution and number of aspiration - ejection cycles) and in the desorption step (percentage of acetonitrile in the solvent of elution and number of aspirations of elution solvent through the device) were statistically significant when the recovery was used as response. The method showed good linearity with correlation coefficients, r(2)>0.9991 for the three drugs, as well as high precision (RSD%<10.83% in each case). Accuracy ranged from -7.8% to +6.7%. The limit of quantification of the three drugs was established at 0.01mug/mL for linezolid and Levofloxacin and 0.02mug/mL for meropenem. Linezolid, meropenem, Levofloxacin and the internal standard were extracted from human plasma with a mean recovery ranged from 92.4% to 97.4%. During validation, the concentration of meropenem, linezolid and Levofloxacin was found to be stable after 3 freeze-thaw cycles and for at least 24h after extraction. This method will be subsequently used to quantify the drugs in patients to establish if the dosage regimen given is sufficient to eradicate the infection at the target site.

Gold Nanoparticles Conjugated Levofloxacin: For Improved Antibacterial Activity Over Levofloxacin Alone.[Pubmed:28302030]

Curr Drug Deliv. 2017;14(8):1114-1119.

BACKGROUND: Levofloxacin is a potent antibiotic with severe side effects due to its high doses. Bacterial resistance may be due to frequent use of antibiotics. Biogenic gold nanoparticles conjugated Levofloxacin (Au-HSA-LvN-NPs) were developed by Human Serum Albumin (HSA) and nitrate reductasemediated pathways. METHODS: Au-HSA-LvN-NPs (size = 27.2 +/- 1 nm) were readily generated with high emulsion stability zeta potential (-13.3 mV). The developed nanoparticles were also characterized by UVvisible spectroscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy and Dynamic Light Scattering techniques. RESULTS: The optimized nanoparticles were found efficient against both Gram-positive bacteria and Gramnegative bacteria specifically S. aureus (MIC-0.373 microg/ml), E. coli (MIC-0.149 microg/ml) and P. aeruginosa (MIC-0.346 microg/ml) respectively. CONCLUSION: The efficiency of bioconjugated Levofloxacin got improved by 1.94 times, 2.89 times and 1.46 times against S. aureus, E. coli and P. aeruginosa respectively, in comparison to pure Levofloxacin.

Effect of the administration period of perioperative topical levofloxacin on normal conjunctival bacterial flora.[Pubmed:28317676]

J Cataract Refract Surg. 2017 Jan;43(1):42-48.

PURPOSE: To assess the long-term and short-term effects of post-cataract surgery antibiotic therapy on the drug-resistance profile of normal conjunctival bacterial flora. SETTING: Miyata Eye Hospital, Miyazaki, Japan. DESIGN: Randomized prospective clinical trial. METHODS: Patients aged 20 years or older who had cataract surgery between May and September 2015 were given Levofloxacin 1.5% ophthalmic solution for 3 days preoperatively. The patients were randomly assigned to a 1-week postoperative group or a 1-month postoperative group according to postoperative administration duration. Conjunctival sacs were scraped for bacterial culturing before administration, 1 week postoperatively, at the completion of administration, and 1, 3, and 6 months after administration completion. The bacterial culture growth and minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of Levofloxacin against recovered strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis were assessed. RESULTS: The study enrolled 104 patients. The MICs of Levofloxacin against S epidermidis increased during Levofloxacin administration compared with before administration in both groups and then declined after administration completion. However, by 3 months, the MICs in the 1-month group were approximately twice those in the 1-week group. Antibiotic susceptibility before administration, at completion of administration, and at 3 months was 73.6%, 20.2%, and 38.5%, respectively, in the 1-week group and 63.0%, 0.0%, and 19.3%, respectively, in the 1-month group. The results indicate that from completion of administration to 3 months, the susceptible strains were approximately 20% lower in the 1-month postoperative group than in the 1-week postoperative group. CONCLUSION: Administration duration of perioperative Levofloxacin 1.5% influenced the MICs and susceptibility of S epidermidis isolated from the conjunctival sac.

A prospective evaluation of levofloxacin-based triple therapy for refractory Helicobacter pylori infection in Australia.[Pubmed:28345276]

Intern Med J. 2017 Jul;47(7):761-766.

BACKGROUND: First-line Helicobacter pylori eradication failure is a common and challenging problem. AIM: To assess the efficacy of salvage Levofloxacin-based triple therapy in Australia. METHODS: Prospective patients referred after prior treatment failure(s) were prescribed esomeprazole 40 mg, amoxicillin 1 g and Levofloxacin 500 mg each twice daily for 10 days. All patients received detailed written and verbal adherence support. Outcome assessment was by (13) C-urea breath test and/or histology and urease test. RESULTS: In 150 consecutive, evaluable patients (66% female, mean age 54 +/- 14 years; six smokers), the main indications for treatment were peptic ulcer disease (17%), increased gastric cancer risk (20%), symptoms (35%) and other risk reduction (28%). The median number of previous treatments was 2 (range 1-7). Eradication of H. pylori was achieved in 90% (intention to treat (ITT)) and 91% (per-protocol (PP)) of patients. The eradication rate did not differ according to the type or number of prior treatments: 93% when Levofloxacin resistance was observed in 20 concurrent cases. CONCLUSION: The efficacy and safety of this Levofloxacin-based triple therapy suggests it should be used as a salvage regimen in this region. Randomised comparative trials are unlikely to be done but these data compare favourably with local data for other salvage therapies.
