Lascufloxacin (LSFX) achieves concentrations in epithelial lining fluid (ELF) that are more than 15 times higher than those in the bloodstream, making it a promising candidate for respiratory and otorhinolaryngological infections. These concentrations were replicated using the Hollow-Fiber Infection Model and demonstrated bactericidal efficacy of LSFX against levofloxacin-sensitive and -resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae. The study confirms that LSFX's elevated concentration in ELF plays a significant role in its bactericidal activity.
拉苏氟沙星(LSFX)在上皮衬液(ELF)中的浓度比在血液中的浓度高出15倍以上,这使其成为呼吸道和耳鼻喉感染的一个有前景的候选药物。这些浓度通过中空纤维感染模型得到了重现,并证明了LSFX对左氧氟沙星敏感和耐药的肺炎链球菌具有杀菌效果。该研究证实,LSFX在ELF中的高浓度在其杀菌活性中起重要作用。
