Application
Cinoxacin is a synthetic antimicrobial commonly used in urinary tract infections that are caused by Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris, Klebsiella species, and Enterobacter species.. It is a quinolone gyrase inhibitor. It is used to study the rat renal organic anion transporter 1 (OAT1)1. It is used to study fluoroquinolone-resistant Streptococcus pyogenes2.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Cinoxacin interferes with DNA replication by inhibiting DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV (topo IV) through tight DNA binding. Cinoxacin allows for proper replicated DNA separation. Therefore, the inhibition of Cinoxacin inhibits DNA replication and cell division.
