FDA Label
Ofloxacin is a quinolone/fluoroquinolone antibiotic. Ofloxacin is bactericidal and its mode of action depends on blocking of bacterial DNA replication by binding itself to an enzyme called DNA gyrase, which allows the untwisting required to replicate one DNA double helix into two. Notably the drug has 100 times higher affinity for bacterial DNA gyrase than for mammalian. Ofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is active against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Absorption
Bioavailability of ofloxacin in the tablet formulation is approximately 98%
Route of Elimination
Ofloxacin is mainly eliminated by renal excretion, where between 65% and 80% of an administered oral dose of ofloxacin is excreted unchanged via urine within 48 hours of dosing. About 4-8% of an ofloxacin dose is excreted in the feces and the drug is minimally subject to biliary excretion.
Ofloxacin is distributed into bone, cartilage, bile, skin, sputum, bronchial secretions, pleural effusions, tonsils, saliva, gingival mucosa, nasal secretions, aqueous humor, tears, sweat, lung, blister fluid, pancreatic fluid, ascitic fluid, peritoneal fluid, gynecologic tissue, vaginal fluid, cervix, ovary, semen, prostatic fluid, and prostatic tissue. For most of these tissues and fluids, ofloxacin concentrations are approximately 0.5-1.7 times concurrent serum concentrations. Ofloxacin is concentrated within neutrophils, achieving concentrations in these cells that may be up to 8 times greater than extracellular concentrations.

Ofloxacin is widely distributed into body tissues and fluids following oral administration. In healthy adults, the apparent volume of distribution of ofloxacin averages 1-2.5 L/kg. Impaired renal function does not appear to affect the volume of distribution of ofloxacin; the apparent volume of distribution of the drug averages 1.1-2 L/kg in patients with impaired renal function, including those with severe renal failure undergoing hemodialysis.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2011; Drug Information 2011. Bethesda, MD. 2011, p. 417
Pharmacokinetic parameters in geriatric patients receiving ofloxacin generally are similar to those in younger adults. Although results of pharmacokinetic studies in geriatric individuals 65-81 years of age indicate that the rate of absorption, volume of distribution, and route of excretion in geriatric individuals are similar to those in younger adults, peak serum concentrations are slightly higher (9-21% higher) and half-life more prolonged in geriatric patients than in younger adults. There also is evidence that peak plasma concentration are higher in geriatric women than geriatric men (114% higher following single doses or 54% higher following multiple doses).
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2011; Drug Information 2011. Bethesda, MD. 2011, p. 417
The oral bioavailability of ofloxacin is 85-100% in healthy, fasting adults, and peak serum concentrations of the drug generally are attained within 0.5-2 hours. In patients with normal renal and hepatic function, peak serum concentrations and AUCs increase in proportion to the dose over the oral dosage range of 100-600 mg and generally are unaffected by age. Following oral administration of a single 100-, 200-, 300-, or 400-mg dose of ofloxacin in healthy, fasting adults, peak serum concentrations average 1-1.3, 1.5-2.7, 2.4-4.6, or 2.9-5.6 ug/mL, respectively. Some accumulation occurs following multiple doses. Steady-state serum concentrations of ofloxacin are achieved after 4 doses of the drug and are approximately 40% higher than concentrations achieved following single oral doses.

Hepatic
Less than 10% of a single dose of ofloxacin is metabolized; approximately 3-6% of the dose is metabolized to desmethyl ofloxacin and 1-5% is metabolized to ofloxacin N-oxide. Desmethyl ofloxacin is microbiologically active, but is less active against susceptible organisms than is ofloxacin; ofloxacin N-oxide has only minimal antibacterial activity.

Seven patients with end-stage renal disease on regular hemodialysis were treated orally with a loading dose of 200 mg ofloxacin and multiple maintenance doses of 100 mg per 24 hr for 10 days. The pharmacokinetics of ofloxacin and its metabolites were studied at the end of the treatment period. Plasma and dialysate concentrations of ofloxacin and ofloxacin metabolites were measured by HPLC. Peak (3.1 mg.L-1) and trough levels (1.6 mg.L-1) and the AUC of ofloxacin were comparable to the values in healthy volunteers given 300 to 400 mg ofloxacin p.o. The mean half-life, determined in the dialysis-free interval (t1/2 beta) and during the haemodialysis session (t1/2 HD), was 38.5 h and 9.9 h, respectively. Extrarenal clearance (32.7 mL.min-1) was unchanged as compared to that reported in healthy volunteers after a single dose of ofloxacin. The fractional removal by haemodialysis amounted to 21.5%. Two metabolites, ofloxacin-N-oxide and demethyl-ofloxacin, were detected in plasma. Despite prolonged t1/2 beta of both metabolites (66.1 and 50.9 hr) and multiple doses of ofloxacin the peak concentrations of the metabolites reached only 14% and 5% of that of the parent drug, respectively. It is concluded that in patients on regular hemodialysis treatment the dosage adjustment employed resulted in safe and therapeutically favourable plasma concentrations. The observed accumulation of ofloxacin metabolites does not appear to have any toxic or therapeutic significance.

Following ocular instillation of 1 drop of ofloxacin 0.3% 4 times daily for 12 doses in healthy individuals, the elimination half-life of drug in tear film was approximately 226 minutes. In a study in rabbits, the terminal elimination half-life of ofloxacin in tear film following topical application to the eye was approximately 210 minutes. In adults with normal renal function, the serum elimination half-life of ofloxacin in the terminal phase averages 4-8 hours.

Ofloxacin acts on DNA gyrase and toposiomerase IV, enzymes which, like human topoisomerase, prevents the excessive supercoiling of DNA during replication or transcription. By inhibiting their function, the drug thereby inhibits normal cell division.
Quinolone(s) (QNs) is widely used in infection therapy due to its good antimicrobial characteristics. However, QNs-induced arthropathy of immature animals has led to restrictions on the therapeutic use of these antimicrobial agents. The exact mechanism(s) of QNs-induced chondrotoxicity remain unknown. In the present study, .../the authors/ investigated the possible mechanism of ofloxacin (one typical QNs)-induced injuries of chondrocytes. Juvenile rabbit joint chondrocytes cultured in alginate microspheres were incubated with ofloxacin at concentrations of 0, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 40 microg/mL for up to 96 hr. Concentration of 10 microg/mL ofloxacin induced apoptosis of chondrocyte with visible apoptotic signs, including degradation of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, caspase-3 activation, and DNA ladder formation. Furthermore, extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (phospho-ERK1/2) and growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (Grb2) were significantly reduced, and similar changes were also observed in the beta(1)-integrin receptor as assessed by immunoblotting. However, the mRNA level of beta(1)-integrin obtained from reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction remained unchanged. Results of beta(1)-integrin immunoprecipitation have also shown that beta(1)-integrin did not interact with activated intracellular signaling proteins. In addition, ofloxacin did not induce apoptosis and decrease beta(1)-integrin expression in chondrocytes supplemented with Mg(2+), and the ofloxacin-induced apoptosis was caspase-8-dependent, inhibition of which did not affect the expression mode of phospho-ERK1/2 and beta(1)-integrin. Our results demonstrate that ofloxacin affects beta(1)-integrin receptor functions and the ERK mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway, causing caspase-8-dependent apoptosis after exposure of 48 hr.

Quinolones are widely used in infection therapy due to their good antimicrobial characteristics. However, there potential joint chondrotoxicity on immature animals has stood in the way of the therapeutic application of these agents, the exact mechanism of which is still unclear. This study was undertaken to investigate the role of oxidative damage in ofloxacin (one typical quinolones)-induced arthropathy. Chondrocytes from juvenile rabbit joints were incubated with ofloxacin at concentrations of 0, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 80 ug/mL, respectively. The extent of oxidative damage was assessed by measuring the reactive oxygen species level, activities of antioxidant enzymes, and oxidative damage to some macromolecules. It was observed that ofloxacin induced a concentration-dependent increase in intracellular reactive oxygen species production, which may be an early mediator of ofloxacin cytotoxicity. Similarly, ofloxacin resulted in a significant lipid peroxidation, revealed by a concentration-dependent increase in the level of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances. At the same time, ofloxacin induced DNA damage in a concentration-dependent manner for 24 hr measured by comet assay, which may be a cause for overproduction of reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, antioxidant enzyme activities, such as glutathione peroxidase (GPx), catalase and superoxide dismutase (SOD), were rapidly decreased after treatment with ofloxacin. In addition, SOD decline and reactive oxygen species production were strongly inhibited, and the loss in cell viability was partly abated by additional glutathione (GSH), N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and dithiothreitol (DTT). In conclusion, these results clearly demonstrated that ofloxacin could induce oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation and DNA oxidative damage to chondrocytes.

Ofloxacin is a quinolone antimicrobial agent. The mechanism of action of ofloxacin and other fluoroquinolone antimicrobials involves inhibition of bacterial topoisomerase IV and DNA gyrase (both of which are type II topoisomerases), enzymes required for DNA replication, transcription, repair and recombination. Ofloxacin has in vitro activity against a wide range of gram-negative and gram-positive microorganisms. Ofloxacin is often bactericidal at concentrations equal to or slightly greater than inhibitory concentrations. Fluoroquinolones, including ofloxacin, differ in chemical structure and mode of action from aminoglycosides, macrolides and beta-lactam antibiotics, including penicillins. Fluoroquinolones may, therefore, be active against bacteria resistant to these antimicrobials. Resistance to ofloxacin due to spontaneous mutation in vitro is a rare occurrence (range: 10(-9) to 10(-11)). Although cross-resistance has been observed between ofloxacin and some other fluoroquinolones, some microorganisms resistant to other fluoroquinolones may be susceptible to ofloxacin.
US Natl Inst Health; DailyMed. Current Medication Information for OFLOXACIN tablet, film coated (January 2012). Available from, as of February 28, 2012: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=95b9fc17-9c94-4762-910c-df0bb0b2aa85
Fluoroquinolones prolong the QT interval by blocking voltage-gated potassium channels, especially the rapid component of the delayed rectifier potassium current I(Kr), expressed by HERG (the human ether-a-go-go-related gene). According to the available case reports and clinical studies, moxifloxacin carries the greatest risk of QT prolongation from all available quinolones in clinical practice and it should be used with caution in patients with predisposing factors for Torsades de pointes (TdP).

A Ofloxacin CEP of the European Pharmacopoeia monograph is often referred to as a Ofloxacin Certificate of Suitability (COS). The purpose of a Ofloxacin CEP is to show that the European Pharmacopoeia monograph adequately controls the purity of Ofloxacin EP produced by a given manufacturer. Suppliers of raw materials can prove the suitability of Ofloxacin to their clients by showing that a Ofloxacin CEP has been issued for it. The manufacturer submits a Ofloxacin CEP (COS) as part of the market authorization procedure, and it takes on the role of a Ofloxacin CEP holder for the record. Additionally, the data presented in the Ofloxacin CEP (COS) is managed confidentially and offers a centralized system acknowledged by numerous nations, exactly like the Ofloxacin DMF.
A Ofloxacin CEP (COS) is recognised by all 36 nations that make up the European Pharmacopoeia Convention. Ofloxacin CEPs may be accepted in nations that are not members of the Ph. Eur. at the discretion of the authorities there.
