Desmethyl Levofloxacin Hydrochloride functions as a potent antibacterial agent. It exerts its mechanism of action by inhibiting the activity of bacterial topoisomerase IV and DNA gyrase. By binding to these enzymes, Desmethyl Levofloxacin Hydrochloride disrupts the normal DNA replication process, leading to the accumulation of double-stranded DNA breaks and ultimately causing bacterial cell death. Desmethyl Levofloxacin Hydrochloride targets bacterial DNA replication machinery, thereby preventing the proliferation of bacterial populations. Its mechanism of action at the molecular level involves the interference with DNA supercoiling and the induction of DNA strand breaks, ultimately leading to the inhibition of bacterial growth.
