Carfecillin is a phenyl ester of the side-chain carboxyl group of carbenicillin, beta-lactam antibiotic, acting as a prodrug. Upon oral administration, is broken down in the intestinal mucosa to the active antibacterial. It is used for urinary tract infections.

Sulfamethoxypyridazine is a sulfonamide antibacterial with a broad spector of activity. It acts by inhibiting the enzyme dihydropteroate synthetase (DHPS), required for the synthesis of nucleic acids and microbial cells.

Conditions:

Dihydrostreptomycin is an antibiotic compound derived from streptomycin by reduction with hydrogen. The primary mechanism of action of the antibiotic dihydrostreptomycin is binding to and modifying the function of the bacterial ribosome, thus leading to decreased and aberrant translation of proteins, in addition it binds mechanosensitive channel of large conductance (MscL) and modifies its conformation, thus allowing the passage of K+ and glutamate out of, and dihydrostreptomycin into, the cell. It has about the same degree of antibacterial activity as streptomycin, but it is less effective against some gram-negative microorganisms. Because it has a higher risk of irreversible deafness, and its effectiveness is no greater that that of streptomycin, dihydrostreptomycin is no longer used clinically. To date dihydrostreptomycin is approved for veterinary use to treat bacterial infections.
Sulfamethazine is a sulfonamide used to treat a variety of bacterial diseases in animals. It inhibits bacterial synthesis of dihydrofolic acid by competing with para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) for binding to dihydropteroate synthetase (dihydrofolate synthetase).

Pipemidic Acid is a quinolone antibacterial agent. It’s used in the treatment of urinary tract infections, recidive cystitis, prolongation of the therapy of pyelonephritis (prolonged therapy at patients with tendency to recidives. It belongs to DNA Gyrase inhibitor pharmacological group on the basis of mechanism of action and also classified in Antibacterial pharmacological group. Pipemidic acid is contraindicated at conditions of proved hypersensitivity, severe renal and hepatic insufficiency, cirrhosis of the liver, porphyria, diseases of the central nervous system (epilepsy and neurological conditions with low level for convulsions). Pipemidic acid is contraindicated at children and adolescents at growing phase.

Sitafloxacin hydrate (DU-6859a, Gracevit), a new-generation, broad-spectrum oral fluoroquinolone that is very active against many Gram-positive, Gram-negative and anaerobic clinical isolates, including strains resistant to other fluoroquinolones, was recently approved in Japan for the treatment of respiratory and urinary tract infections. This is a new quinolone oral antibacterial to inhibit DNA replication of bacteria at the time of infection, and shows antibacterial action. Sitafloxacin is active against methicillin-resistant staphylococci, Streptococcus pneumoniae and other streptococci with reduced susceptibility to levofloxacin and other quinolones and enterococci. Sitafloxacin has also demonstrated activity against clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae (including about 67% of strains producing extended-spectrum, beta-lactamases and resistant to ciprofloxacin), Enterobacter cloacae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa with some activity against quinolone-resistant strains and Acinetobacter baumannii. The in vitro activity against anaerobes is comparable to imipenem or metronidazole. Sitafloxacin showed dual inhibitory activity against both enzymes: Streptococcus pneumoniae DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV.

Prulifloxacin is a prodrug of ulifloxacin which has been approved in Italy, Japan, China, India and Greece, for treatment of infections caused by susceptible bacteria, in the following conditions: acute uncomplicated lower urinary tract infections (simple cystitis); complicated lower urinary tract infections; acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis; gastroenteritis, including infectious diarrheas. Like other fluoroquinolones, prulifloxacin prevents bacterial DNA replication, transcription, repair and recombination through inhibition of bacterial DNA gyrase.
