Cinoxacin: effectiveness against experimental pyelonephritis in rats.

D H Holmes, P W Ensminger, R S Gordee

    Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy
    |October 1, 1974
    PubMed
    Summary

    Cinoxacin demonstrated superior antimicrobial activity against urinary tract infections in rats compared to nalidixic acid and oxolinic acid. Its efficacy suggests potential as an oral chemotherapeutic agent for treating these infections.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacology
    • Microbiology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common bacterial infections.
    • Effective oral chemotherapeutic agents are needed for UTI treatment.
    • Cinoxacin is a potential candidate for UTI therapy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the antimicrobial activity of cinoxacin.
    • To compare cinoxacin with nalidixic acid and oxolinic acid.
    • To assess cinoxacin's suitability for treating UTIs.

    Main Methods:

    • A descending pyelonephritis rat model was used.
    • Infections were induced by Escherichia coli and Proteus mirabilis.
    • Antimicrobial efficacy was assessed at specific dosages and administration frequencies.

    Main Results:

    • Cinoxacin showed considerably greater effectiveness than nalidixic acid and oxolinic acid.
    • Oral administration of cinoxacin at 3 mg/kg four times daily was superior.
    • Demonstrable serum activity and high urine recovery were observed for cinoxacin.

    Conclusions:

    • Cinoxacin exhibits potent antimicrobial properties.
    • The drug possesses favorable pharmacokinetic properties for UTIs.
    • Cinoxacin is a promising oral chemotherapeutic agent for urinary tract infections.
