Gatifloxacin mesylate (AM-1155; BMS-206584; PD135432) is a potent fluoroquinolone antibiotic with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. Gatifloxacin mesylate inhibits bacterial type II topoisomerases (IC₅₀=13.8 μg/ml for S. aureus topoisomerase IV) and E. coli DNA gyrase (IC₅₀ = 0.109 μg/ml)^[1]. Gatifloxacin mesylate can be used to treat bacterial conjunctivitis in vivo.

Gatifloxacin mesylate is against S. aureus MS5935 topoisomerase IV, E. coli NIHJ JC-2 DNA gyrase and HeLa cell topoisomerase II with IC₅₀ values of 13.8 μg/ml, 0.109 μg/ml, and 265 μg/ml, respectively^[1].
Gatifloxacin mesylate is against S. aureus MS5935 topoisomerase IV, E. coli NIHJ JC-2 DNA gyrase and HeLa cell topoisomerase II with MIC values of 0.05 μg/ml, 0.0063 μg/ml, and 122 μg/ml, respectively^[1].
Gatifloxacin mesylate exhibits antibacterial activities for wild-type strains (MS5935, MS5952, MR5867 and MR6009) the first-, second-, third-, and fourth-step mutants with MIC values of 0.05 to 0.10 μg/ml, 0.20 μg/ml, 1.56 to 3.13 μg/ml, 1.56 to 6.25 μg/ml, and 50 to 200 μg/ml, respectively. Gatifloxacin mesylate displays the most potent activity against the second- and third-step mutants (MS5952, MR5867 and MR6009) except for the second-step mutant of strain MS5935^[2].
Gatifloxacin mesylate has potent activity against norA transformant NY12 (MIC, 0.39 μg/ml)^[2].
Gatifloxacin mesylate (20-100 μM; 72 hours) significantly decreases insulin content to 60% at Day 1, and continues to be reduced to 50.1% and 44.7% at Day 3 by 20 μM and 100 μM Gatifloxacin mesylate, respectively^[3].

Gatifloxacin mesylate (subcutaneous injection; 100 mg/kg; 3 times a day; 30 days) significantly decreases the number of lesions in mouse footpad with Nocardia brasiliensis^[4].
