Oxolinic acid is a quinolone antibiotic inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase.
DNA gyrase, an enzyme within the class of topoisomerase, relieves strain while double-stranded DNA is being unwound by helicase.
In vitro: Previous study found that both inhibitors of DNA gyrase of oxolinic acid and coumermycin A1 could block the DNA synthesis in E. coli. Moreover, the rate of bacterial DNA synthesis first rapidly declined but then increased gradually at low concentrations of oxolinic acid. In varoius DNA mutants, oxolinic acid was able to cause a rapid decline, followed by a slow decrease in synthesis rate of DNA [1].
In vivo: Animal study showed that the i.p. injection of oxolinic acid in mice could induce a dose dependent increase in locomotor activity, and such stimulation culminated at the 32 mg/kg dose and was smaller for higher doses at 64-128 mg/kg. When compared with haloperidol (D2 dopamine receptor antagonist) at increasing doses (50-100-200 mg/kg), the stimulant locomotor effect of oxolinic acid at 32 mg/kg was not reversed significantly. In addition, oxolinic acid at 32 mg/kg did not reverse the reserpine caused akinesia and even opposed the reversion that was induced by dexamphetamine [2].
Clinical trial: Oxolinic acid is an antibiotic developed in Japan in the 1970s. Oral dose at 12–20 mg/kg is administered for 5-10 days (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxolinic_acid).

General tips | Please select the appropriate solvent to prepare the stock solution according to the
solubility of the product in different solvents; once the solution is prepared, please store it in
separate packages to avoid product failure caused by repeated freezing and thawing.Storage method
and period of the stock solution: When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months; when stored
at -20°C, please use it within 1 month. To increase solubility, heat the tube to 37°C and then oscillate in an ultrasonic bath for some time. |
