Because fluoroquinolones have an immunomodulatory effect on cytokine production by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated human monocytes, we examined the effect of fluoroquinolones on the survival of mice injected with a lethal dose of LPS. Trovafloxacin (100 mg/kg), ciprofloxacin (250 mg/kg), and tosufloxacin (100 mg/kg) protected 75% (P = 0.0001), 25% (P = 0.002), and 50% (P = 0.002), respectively, of mice against death. The fluoroquinolones significantly reduced serum levels of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor alpha in LPS-treated mice. The protective effects of fluoroquinolones in LPS-induced shock in mice may also occur in humans.
由于氟喹诺酮类药物对经脂多糖(LPS)处理的人单核细胞产生的细胞因子具有免疫调节作用,我们研究了氟喹诺酮类药物对注射致死剂量LPS的小鼠存活率的影响。曲伐沙星(100mg/kg)、环丙沙星(250mg/kg)和妥舒沙星(100mg/kg)分别使75%(P = 0.0001)、25%(P = 0.002)和50%(P = 0.002)的小鼠免于死亡。氟喹诺酮类药物显著降低了LPS处理小鼠的血清白细胞介素-6和肿瘤坏死因子α水平。氟喹诺酮类药物对小鼠LPS诱导休克的保护作用在人类中也可能出现。
