Grepafloxacin (OPC-17116) hydrochloride is an oral actively fluoroquinolone antibiotic with potent activity against community-acquired respiratory pathogens including Streptococcus pneumonia. Grepafloxacin hydrochloride has high tissue penetration and a promising pharmacodynamic profile^[4].

Grepafloxacin (OPC-17116; 0-1 mg/L; 14-21 d) hydrochloride has antibiotic activity with a MIC value of ≤ 0.006 mg/L for E. coli strain.
Grepafloxacin (0-1 mg/L; 3 h) hydrochloride has antimicrobial activity against mycobacteria in macrophages with a MIC value of 0.5 mg/L for M. avium.
Grepafloxacin hydrochloride exhibits potent in vitro antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumoniae and high in vivo efficacy on the experimental systemic infections caused by the Gram-positive and -negative bacteria tested^[4].
