Oxolinic acid (Standard)

Oxolinic acid (Standard) is the analytical standard of Oxolinic acid. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Oxolinic acid is an antibiotic against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Oxolinic acid can be used for the research of acute and chronic urinary tract infections. Oxolinic acid is a DNA/RNA synthesis inhibitor. Oxolinic acid acts a dopamine uptake inhibitor and stimulants locomotor effect in mice[1][2][3].
