Description

Rosoxacin, a quinolone derivative, is an antibiotic, which is used for the treatment of uncomplicated acute gonococcal urethritis. Administration of rosoxacin is an effective regimen for the therapy of chancroid and is a reasonable alternative to other short-course regimens. The drug binds to and inhibits two enzymes topoisomerase II (DNA gyrase), which is required for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination.
