Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

Ofloxacin selectively binds to bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV enzymes, blocking DNA strand uncoiling and halting genomic replication. This enzymatic inhibition leads to bacterial cell division arrest and rapid cell death, providing the therapeutic basis for its clinical evaluation in conditions such as cataracts and acute ischemic stroke.

Appendix RUO and cGMP Quality Standards
