ofloxacin and Hematologic Neoplasms

ofloxacin has been researched along with Hematologic Neoplasms in 6 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.

Hematologic Neoplasms: Neoplasms located in the blood and blood-forming tissue (the bone marrow and lymphatic tissue). The commonest forms are the various types of LEUKEMIA, of LYMPHOMA, and of the progressive, life-threatening forms of the MYELODYSPLASTIC SYNDROMES.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"An open-label randomised clinical trial was designed to compare the efficacy and tolerance of levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin plus phenethicillin for the prevention of bacterial infections in patients with high-risk neutropenia, and to monitor the emergence of antimicrobial resistance."5.12Levofloxacin vs. ciprofloxacin plus phenethicillin for the prevention of bacterial infections in patients with haematological malignancies. ( Huijgens, PC; Janssen, JJ; Leidekker, ME; Simoons-Smit, AM; Timmers, GJ; Vandenbroucke-Grauls, CM, 2007)
"Febrile neutropenia is an expected complication during treatment of aggressive hematological malignancies and hematopoietic cell transplantation."2.73The clinical impact of antibacterial prophylaxis and cycling antibiotics for febrile neutropenia in a hematological malignancy and transplantation unit. ( Craig, M; Cumpston, AD; Devetten, MP; Ericson, SG; Hobbs, GR; Sarwari, AR, 2007)
" Pharmacokinetic parameters of levofloxacin, including the maximum serum concentration (C(max)), time to C(max) (T(max)), area under the concentration-time curve (AUC), volume of distribution at steady state (V(ss)/F) and clearance (CL/F) were not statistically different at first dose and during neutropenia."2.71Pharmacokinetics and effects on bowel and throat microflora of oral levofloxacin as antibacterial prophylaxis in neutropenic patients with haematological malignancies. ( Dijstelbloem, Y; Huijgens, PC; Simoons-Smit, AM; Timmers, GJ; Touw, DJ; van Winkelhoff, AJ; Vandenbroucke-Grauls, CM, 2004)
