Description
Curator's Comment: Description was created based on several sources, including https://www.drugs.com/history/baxdela.html http://www.malinplc.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Melinta-Therapeutics-Presents-Complete-Delafloxacin-Results-09.10.15.pdf

Delafloxacin (CAS registry number 189279-58-1) was described as WQ-3034 by Wakunaga Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Osaka & Hiroshima, Japan. It was first licensed in 1999 to Abbott Park, IL, and further developed as ABT-492. Delafloxacin (Baxdela), a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, is currently being developed by Melinta Therapeutics. It is a novel investigational fluoroquinolone in development for the treatment of uncomplicated gonorrhea, and acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections. Delafloxacin shows MICs remarkably low against Gram-positive organisms and anaerobes and similar to those of ciprofloxacin against Gram-negative bacteria. It remains active against most fluoroquinolone-resistant strains, except enterococci. Its potency is further increased in acidic environments (found in many infection sites). Delafloxacin is active on staphylococci growing intracellularly or in biofilms. Delafloxacin is a dual-targeting fluoroquinolone, capable of forming cleavable complexes with DNA and topoisomerase IV or DNA gyrase and of inhibiting the activity of these enzymes in both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. On Oct 24, 2016, Melinta Therapeutics Submitted Baxdela New Drug Application for hospital-treated skin infections.
