Moxifloxacin Hydrochloride (original) (raw)

Moxifloxacin hydrochloride, a potent antimicrobial agent, exhibits unique chemical characteristics distinct from other quinolones. It features an 8-position methoxy group and an S,S-configured diazabicyclononyl ring at the 7-position, contributing to its pharmacological efficacy. The stability of moxifloxacin has been extensively evaluated, revealing factors affecting degradation, including temperature and pH levels. This paper discusses the formulation of moxifloxacin hydrochloride, its stability profile, decomposition mechanisms, and the scope of its antibacterial activity against a variety of pathogens.
