85721-33-1 | Ciprofloxacin

Chemical type

• Fluoroquinolone antibiotic (ciprofloxacin hydrochloride)

^[1]

• Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API)

^[2]

Key properties

• Potent activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria; controlled release reduces systemic toxicity; synergistic with natural extracts for enhanced efficacy.

^[1]

• Emerging organic pollutant
• Persists in the environment
• λₘₐₓ (UV-vis) = 278 nm
• Can be easily ionized, affecting adsorption mechanisms

^[2]

• Loaded into cryogel sponges for sustained antibacterial release; treats skin and soft tissue infections, particularly E. coli-infected wounds; incorporated at 1 mg/L (minimum inhibitory concentration).

^[1]

• Target adsorbate for removal from water by RIOs
• Model compound for adsorption studies

^[2]

Classification by use

• Antibiotics for infection control; bioactive agents in controlled drug release systems for wound care.

^[1]

• Environmental pollutant
• Pharmaceutical compound
