Enoxacin Sesquihydrate

Enoxacin is a broad-spectrum 6-fluoronaphthyridinone antibacterial agent. (In Vitro) :Enoxacin hydrate (Enoxacin sesquihydrate) increases siGFP-mediated gene knockdown mediated by siRNA against EGFP in HEK293 cells-based reporter system in a dose-dependent manner, with a median effective concentration (EC50) of ~30 μM, whereas it has no effect on the cells expressing GFP only. Enoxacin (50 μM) promotes the processing of miRNAs and the loading of siRNA duplexes onto RISCs in HEK293 cells.Enoxacin has no effect on the processing of pre-let-7 or pre-miR-30a by Dicer alone. However, the addition of Enoxacin can enhance the processing of let-7 or pre-miR-30a by Dicer and TRBP together.Enoxacin inhibits 90% Escherichia coli, Klebsiella sp., Aeromonas sp., Enterobacter spp., Serratia spp., Proteus mirabilis, and Morganella morganii at less than or equal to 0.8 micrograms/ml. (In Vivo) :Enoxacin hydrate (Enoxacin sesquihydrate; 100 μM; 2 μl; injected into ear once a day for 3 consecutive days (days 12, 13 and 14) ) enhances the the GFP mRNA knockdown efficiency by Lv-siGFP (from 80% to 60%; 40% GFP mRNA level remained), whereas alone has no effect on GFP expression in GFP transgenic line C57BL/6-Tg (ACTB-EGFP) 1Osb/J (10 d old) with lentivirus expressing shGFP (Lv-siGFP; injected into ear for 10 days) .
