Flufenicol is a synthetic monofluorine derivative of sulfoxamycin. It is a white or off-white crystalline powder and odorless. Slightly soluble in water, slightly soluble in glacial acetic acid,ethanol.Is in the late 1980s successfully developed a new veterinary special broad-spectrum antimicrobial drugs.A commonly used veterinary antibiotic, is currently indicated for the treatment of bovine respiratory disease, Florfenicol can induce early embryonic death in eggs, with an LC50 of 1.07 μg/g.
Veterinary Medicine: Florfenicol is primarily used in veterinary practice as an antibiotic to treat a wide range of bacterial infections in livestock and companion animals, including respiratory, urinary, and skin infections.
Aquaculture: It is also employed in aquaculture to control bacterial diseases in fish and shellfish, enhancing animal health and productivity in aquatic environments.
Food Safety: By treating animals with florfenicol, it helps to reduce the spread of foodborne illnesses caused by bacterial contamination, contributing to safer food products for human consumption.
Bactericidal Activity: Florfenicol functions by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, specifically by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit, thereby halting bacterial growth and ultimately leading to cell death.
Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic: It exhibits a broad spectrum of activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, making it effective against multiple pathogens that can cause disease in animals.
Low Toxicity and Good Tolerance: Florfenicol is generally well-tolerated by animals, with low toxicity and minimal side effects, allowing for safe administration and use in a variety of species and production settings.
