The main objective of this study was to compare activities of a novel fluoroquinolone (FQ), UB-8902, with ofloxacin (OFX), levofloxacin (LFX), and moxifloxacin (MOX) against isolates. Eleven OFX-resistant and 11 drug-susceptible clinical isolates were studied. Individual minimum inhibitory concentrations of OFX, LFX, MOX, and UB-8902 were determined using Middlebrook 7H11 agar. The concentrations studied ranged from 0.125 to 128 μg/mL in twofold dilutions. UB-8902 was more active than LFX and similar to MOX for OFX-resistant isolates. In addition, UB-8902 and MOX showed equal activity against drug-susceptible isolates, both being more active than OFX and LFX. In conclusion, the new FQ, UB-8902, showed good activity against OFX-resistant isolates. Moreover, it showed better activity than OFX and LFX and was equivalent to MOX against FQ-susceptible clinical isolates. UB-8902 can be considered as a drug with potential antituberculous activity, similar to MOX.
本研究的主要目的是比较新型氟喹诺酮(FQ)UB-8902 与氧氟沙星(OFX)、左氧氟沙星(LFX)和莫西沙星(MOX)对分离株的活性。研究了 11 株 OFX 耐药和 11 株药物敏感的临床分离株。采用 Middlebrook 7H11 琼脂测定 OFX、LFX、MOX 和 UB-8902 的个体最小抑菌浓度。研究的浓度范围为 0.125 至 128μg/ml,以两倍稀释。UB-8902 对 OFX 耐药分离株的活性优于 LFX 且与 MOX 相似。此外,UB-8902 和 MOX 对药敏分离株的活性相同,均优于 OFX 和 LFX。总之,新型 FQ UB-8902 对 OFX 耐药分离株显示出良好的活性。此外,它的活性优于 OFX 和 LFX,与 MOX 对 FQ 敏感的临床分离株相当。UB-8902 可被视为一种具有潜在抗结核活性的药物,类似于 MOX。
