FDA Label
Moxifloxacin is a quinolone/fluoroquinolone antibiotic. Moxifloxacin can be used to treat infections caused by the following bacteria: Aerobic Gram-positive microorganisms: Corynebacterium species, Micrococcus luteus, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus haemolyticus, Staphylococcus hominis, Staphylococcus warneri, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Streptococcus viridans group. Aerobic Gram-negative microorganisms: Acinetobacter lwoffii, Haemophilus influenzae, and Haemophilus parainfluenzae. Other microorganisms: Chlamydia trachomatis.
Moxifloxacin is bactericidal and its mode of action depends on blocking of bacterial DNA replication by binding itself to an enzyme called DNA gyrase, which allows the untwisting required to replicate one DNA double helix into two. Notably the drug has 100 times higher affinity for bacterial DNA gyrase than for mammalian. Moxifloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is active against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
Topoisomerase II Inhibitors

The ocular penetration and pharmacokinetics of moxifloxacin in comparison to other fluoroquinolones (ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, gatifloxacin, norfloxacin, levofloxacin, and lomefloxacin) have been determined by in vitro and ex vivo techniques, as well as in animal and human studies. ... The results consistently demonstrate higher maximum concentrations for moxifloxacin relative to the other fluoroquinolones in ocular tissues with levels well above its minimum inhibitory concentrations for relevant ocular pathogens. This superior performance is due to the unique structure of moxifloxacin that combines high lipophilicity for enhanced corneal penetration with high aqueous solubility at physiological pH. The latter property creates a high concentration gradient at the tear film/corneal epithelial interface providing a driving force for better ocular penetration for moxifloxacin. In addition, the higher concentration of moxifloxacin in VIGAMOX (i.e., 0.5% vs. 0.3%) allows more antibiotic to be available to ocular tissues. It is clear from the array of studies summarized in this report that moxifloxacin penetrates ocular tissues better (two- to three-fold) than gatifloxacin, ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, or levofloxacin. This consistent, enhanced penetration of topical moxifloxacin offers powerful advantages for ophthalmic therapy.

Approximately 52% or oral or intravenous dose is metabolized via glucuronide and sulphate conjugation. The cytochrome P450 system is not involved in metabolism. The sulphate conjugate accounts for 38% of the dose, and the glucuronide conjugate accounts for 14% of the dose.
Approximately 52% of an oral or intravenous dose of moxifloxacin is metabolized via glucuronide and sulfate conjugation. The cytochrome P450 system is not involved in moxifloxacin metabolism, and is not affected by moxifloxacin. The sulfate conjugate (M1) accounts for approximately 38% of the dose, and is eliminated primarily in the feces. Approximately 14% of an oral or intravenous dose is converted to a glucuronide conjugate (M2), which is excreted exclusively in the urine. Peak plasma concentrations of M2 are approximately 40% those of the parent drug, while plasma concentrations of M1 are generally less than 10% those of moxifloxacin.

The bactericidal action of moxifloxacin results from inhibition of the enzymes topoisomerase II (DNA gyrase) and topoisomerase IV. DNA gyrase is an essential enzyme that is involved in the replication, transcription and repair of bacterial DNA. Topoisomerase IV is an enzyme known to play a key role in the partitioning of the chromosomal DNA during bacterial cell division.
The fluoroquinolone antibiotic moxifloxacin has been associated with the acquired long QT syndrome and is used as a positive control in the evaluation of the QT-interval prolonging potential of new drugs. In common with other QT-prolonging agents, moxifloxacin is known to inhibit the hERG potassium K+ channel, but at present there is little mechanistic information available on this action. This study was conducted in order to characterise the inhibition of hERG current (I(hERG)) by moxifloxacin, and to determine the role in drug binding of the S6 aromatic amino-acid residues Tyr652 and Phe656. hERG currents were studied using whole-cell patch clamp (at room temperature and at 35-37 degrees C) in an HEK293 cell line stably expressing hERG channels. Moxifloxacin reversibly inhibited currents in a dose-dependent manner. We investigated the effects of different voltage commands to elicit hERG currents on moxifloxacin potency. Using a 'step-ramp' protocol, the IC50 was 65 uM at room temperature and 29 microM at 35 degrees C. When a ventricular action potential waveform was used to elicit currents, the IC50 was 114 microM. Block of hERG by moxifloxacin was found to be voltage-dependent, occurred rapidly and was independent of stimulation frequency. Mutagenesis of the S6 helix residue Phe656 to Ala failed to eliminate or reduce the moxifloxacin-mediated block whereas mutation of Tyr652 to Ala reduced moxifloxacin block by approximately 66%. Our data demonstrate that moxifloxacin blocks the hERG channel with a preference for the activated channel state. The Tyr652 but not Phe656 S6 residue is involved in moxifloxacin block of hERG, concordant with an interaction in the channel inner cavity.

The bactericidal action of moxifloxacin results from inhibition of the topoisomerase II (DNA gyrase) and topoisomerase IV required for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination. It appears that the C8-methoxy moiety contributes to enhanced activity and lower selection of resistant mutants of Gram-positive bacteria compared to the C8-H moiety. The presence of the bulky bicycloamine substituent at the C-7 position prevents active efflux, associated with the NorA or pmrA genes seen in certain Gram-positive bacteria.

Torsade de pointes (TdP) is increasingly recognized as a complication of drug therapy. The most common cause of drug-induced QT prolongation is inhibition of the rapidly activating component of the delayed potassium current (I(Kr)). Moxifloxacin, a widely used fluoroquinolone, is a weak I(Kr) inhibitor and has been associated with QT prolongation.
PMID:18651388 Sherazi S et al; Cardiol J 15 (1): 71-3 (2008)
Fluoroquinolones prolong the QT interval by blocking voltage-gated potassium channels, especially the rapid component of the delayed rectifier potassium current I(Kr), expressed by HERG (the human ether-a-go-go-related gene). According to the available case reports and clinical studies, moxifloxacin carries the greatest risk of QT prolongation from all available quinolones in clinical practice and it should be used with caution in patients with predisposing factors for Torsades de pointes (TdP).

In Korea, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) is in charge of regulating pharmaceutical products and services.
Pharmaceutical companies submit a Avolex Drug Master File in Korea (Avolex KDMF) to the MFDS, which includes comprehensive information about the production, processing, facilities, materials, packaging, and testing of Avolex. The MFDS reviews the Avolex KDMF as part of the drug registration process and uses the information provided in the Avolex KDMF to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the drug.
After submitting a Avolex KDMF to the MFDS, the registered manufacturer can provide importers or distributors with the registration number without revealing confidential information to Korean business partners. Applicants seeking to register their Avolex API can apply through the Korea Drug Master File (KDMF).

National Drug Code is a comprehensive database maintained by the FDA that contains information on all drugs marketed in the US. This directory includes information about finished drug products, unfinished drug products, and compounded drug products, including those containing Avolex as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API).
The FDA updates the NDC directory daily. The NDC numbers for Avolex API and other APIs are published in this directory by the FDA.
The NDC unfinished drugs database includes product listing information submitted for all unfinished drugs, such as active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), drugs intended for further processing and bulk drug substances for compounding.
Pharmaceutical companies that manufacture Avolex as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) must furnish the FDA with an updated record of all drugs that they produce, prepare, propagate, compound, or process for commercial distribution in the US at their facilities.
The NDC directory also contains data on finished compounded human drug products that contain Avolex and are produced by outsourcing facilities. While these outsourcing facilities are not mandated to assign a Avolex NDC to their finished compounded human drug products, they may choose to do so.

Avolex Active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is produced in GMP-certified manufacturing facility.
GMP stands for Good Manufacturing Practices, which is a system used in the pharmaceutical industry to make sure that goods are regularly produced and monitored in accordance with quality standards. The FDA’s current Good Manufacturing Practices requirements are referred to as cGMP or current GMP which indicates that the company follows the most recent GMP specifications. The World Health Organization (WHO) has its own set of GMP guidelines, called the WHO GMP. Different countries can also set their own guidelines for GMP like China (Chinese GMP) or the EU (EU GMP).
