Ciprofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that inhibits bacterial DNA synthesis. Ciprofloxacin is highly stable and has a long half-life. It is used to treat infections such as urinary tract infections, prostatitis, and pneumonia. Ciprofloxacin binds to the bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA and inhibits protein synthesis, leading to cell death by inhibiting the production of proteins vital for cell division. The reaction mechanism of ciprofloxacin lactate is similar to that of other fluoroquinolones in inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, which are enzymes that maintain the integrity of bacterial DNA. This drug also has antimicrobial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
