norfloxacin and Pregnancy

norfloxacin has been researched along with Pregnancy in 16 studies

Norfloxacin: A synthetic fluoroquinolone (FLUOROQUINOLONES) with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against most gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Norfloxacin inhibits bacterial DNA GYRASE.
norfloxacin : A quinolinemonocarboxylic acid with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against most gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Norfloxacin is bactericidal and its mode of action depends on blocking of bacterial DNA replication by binding itself to an enzyme called DNA gyrase.

Pregnancy: The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH.

"Norfloxacin method is a simple, inexpensive and automatable kinetic assay."1.34A kinetic method amenable to automation for ceruloplasmin estimation with inexpensive and stable reagents. ( Ambade, V; Somani, BL, 2007)
" Overall, results indicated (1) no marked differences in pharmacokinetic parameters in pregnant versus nonpregnant females, (2) fleroxacin levels in embryonic tissues were similar to maternal plasma levels, and (3) there was a correlation between exposure and embryolethal doses for all fluoroquinolones which resulted in embryolethality except norfloxacin."1.29Developmental toxicity of fleroxacin and comparative pharmacokinetics of four fluoroquinolones in the cynomolgus macaque (Macaca fascicularis). ( Hendrickx, AG; Hummler, H; Richter, WF, 1993)
" The results of these studies combined suggest that the developmental toxic effects observed in prior studies and Study I are specific to pregnancy and directly related to placental-derived P production."1.28Embryotoxicity studies of norfloxacin in cynomolgus monkeys. II. Role of progesterone. ( Cukierski, MA; Hendrickx, AG; Hess, DL; Lasley, BL; Peter, CP; Prahalada, S; Robertson, RT; Tarantal, AF; Tarara, R, 1992)
" Forty-six pregnant monkeys were dosed with a control vehicle or 200 mg/kg/day norfloxacin for one of three 10-day periods on GD 36-45, 71-80, or 111-120."1.28Embryotoxicity studies of norfloxacin in cynomolgus monkeys: I. Teratology studies and norfloxacin plasma concentration in pregnant and nonpregnant monkeys. ( Cukierski, MA; Cukierski, MJ; Hess, DL; Nyland, T; Peter, CP; Prahalada, S; Robertson, RT; Rodgers, JD; Tarantal, AF; Zacchei, AG, 1989)
"Norfloxacin is a new antibiotic which caused embryo-fetal toxicity in association with maternotoxicity when given orally to rabbits at 100 mg/kg/day."1.27Association between adverse maternal and embryo-fetal effects in norfloxacin-treated and food-deprived rabbits.
