Comparison of brain slice to medium concentration ratio among quinolones

QuinolonesSlice-to-Medium Concentration Ratio (Cs/Cm)
ml/g
NFLX1.91  ± 0.15
OFLX1.37  ± 0.022-a
FLRX1.25  ± 0.152-a
PFLX1.33  ± 0.042-a
AM-11551.71  ± 0.04
SPFX1.75  ± 0.04

Brain slice was incubated for 4 hr at 37°C in the incubation medium containing the respective quinolones at the concentration of 0.5 μg/ml.

  • Each value represents the mean ± SE of four experiments.

  • 2-a Significantly different from NFLX, which was examined by multiple comparison testing, Tukey test (p < 0.01).
