ofloxacin and Chondromalacia

ofloxacin has been researched along with Chondromalacia in 5 studies

Ofloxacin: A synthetic fluoroquinolone antibacterial agent that inhibits the supercoiling activity of bacterial DNA GYRASE, halting DNA REPLICATION.
9-fluoro-3-methyl-10-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-7-oxo-2,3-dihydro-7H-[1,4]oxazino[2,3,4-ij]quinoline-6-carboxylic acid : An oxazinoquinoline that is 2,3-dihydro-7H-[1,4]oxazino[2,3,4-ij]quinolin-7-one substituted by methyl, carboxy, fluoro, and 4-methylpiperazin-1-yl groups at positions 3, 6, 9, and 10, respectively.
ofloxacin : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of levofloxacin and dextrofloxacin. It is a synthetic fluoroquinolone antibacterial agent which inhibits the supercoiling activity of bacterial DNA gyrase, halting DNA replication.

Chondromalacia: Softening and degeneration of the CARTILAGE.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Ofloxacin treatment did not change the total magnesium concentrations in tissues, as determined with ashed samples."5.31Synergistic effect of ofloxacin and magnesium deficiency on joint cartilage in immature rats. ( Lozo, E; Riecke, K; Schwabe, R; Stahlmann, R; Vormann, J, 2002)
" To test the hypothesis that quinolone-induced arthropathy is caused (or aggravated) by magnesium deficiency in cartilage, we induced magnesium deficiency by feeding juvenile rats a magnesium-deficient diet for 9 days and treated the rats with single oral doses of ofloxacin (0, 100, 300, 600, or 1,200 mg/kg of body weight) during this period."3.69Magnesium deficiency induces joint cartilage lesions in juvenile rats which are identical to quinolone-induced arthropathy. ( Förster, C; Günther, T; Merker, HJ; Shakibaei, M; Stahlmann, R; Vormann, J, 1995)
"Ofloxacin treatment did not change the total magnesium concentrations in tissues, as determined with ashed samples."1.31Synergistic effect of ofloxacin and magnesium deficiency on joint cartilage in immature rats. ( Lozo, E; Riecke, K; Schwabe, R; Stahlmann, R; Vormann, J, 2002)
" Juvenile (4- to 5-week-old) NZW were orally dosed with ofloxacin or pefloxacin (300 mg/kg of body weight for 1 day) or with pefloxacin (300 mg/kg for 7 days)."1.29Cytofluorometric analysis of chondrotoxicity of fluoroquinolone antimicrobial agents. ( Gaudin, C; Hayem, G; Kahn, MF; Levacher, M; Petit, PX; Pocidalo, JJ, 1994)
" Chondrocyte clusters producing glycosaminoglycans were observed 3 weeks after dosing and at later time points."1.29Quinolone-induced cartilage lesions are not reversible in rats. ( Förster, C; Kociok, K; Merker, HJ; Shakibaei, M; Stahlmann, R, 1996)
