ABOUT LEVOFLOXACIN THIRD GENERATION FLUOROQUINOLONE (OR QUINOLONE) A BROAD SPECTRUM ANTIINFECTIVE. MECHANISM OF ACTION OF LEVOFLOXACIN LEVOFLOXACIN IS A BROAD SPECTRUM ANTIBACTERIAL AGENT. IT ACT BY INHIBITING THE ENZYME DNA GYRASE (TOPOISOMERASE 2) AND TOPOISOMERASE 4.DNA GYRASE HELPS IN THE FORMATION OF A HIGHLY CONDENSED THREE DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURE OF THE DNA BY ITS NICKING AND CLOSING ACTIVITY AND ALSO BY INTRODUCING NEGATIVE SUPERCOIL IN TO THE DNA DOUBLE HELIX. LEVOFLOXACIN INHIBITS DNA GYRASE WHICH RESULTS IN ABNORMAL LINKAGE BETWEEN OPENED DNA AND GYRASE AND NEGATIVE SUPERCOILING IS ALSO IMPAIRED. THIS WILL INHIBITS TRANSCRIPTION OF DNA IN TO RNA AND SUBSEQUENT PROTEIN SYNTHESIS. INDICATIONS FOR LEVOFLOXACIN 1.SINUSITIS 2.BRONCHITIS 3.PNEUMONIA 4.URINARY TRACT INFECTION 5.TRAVELER`S DIARRHOEA 6.SKIN AND SOFT TISSUE INFECTIONS 7.URETHRITIS
