Cinoxacin
Cinoxacin (CAS: 28657-80-9), a synthetic antimicrobial agent with the molecular formula C12H10N2O5 and a molecular weight of 262.22 g/mol, is a quinolone gyrase inhibitor. It is primarily employed to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by susceptible Gram-negative bacteria, including <i>Escherichia coli</i> and <i>Proteus</i> species. The compound also serves as a valuable tool in research settings for studying renal organic anion transporters and fluoroquinolone resistance mechanisms.

Urinary Tract Infection Treatment
Cinoxacin is a synthetic antibacterial agent indicated for the treatment of urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by susceptible strains of bacteria such as <i>Escherichia coli</i>, <i>Proteus mirabilis</i>, <i>Proteus vulgaris</i>, <i>Klebsiella</i> species, and <i>Enterobacter</i> species.
Research into Renal Transporters
This compound is utilised in laboratory research to investigate the function of rat renal organic anion transporter 1 (OAT1), providing insights into renal transport mechanisms.
Study of Antibiotic Resistance
Cinoxacin is used in studies focusing on fluoroquinolone-resistant strains of bacteria, such as <i>Streptococcus pyogenes</i>, to understand resistance patterns and mechanisms.
