Biochem/physiol Actions

Broad-spectrum antibiotic that inhibits protein synthesis by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit of bacteria.



Florfenicol is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is primarily used in veterinary medicine to treat respiratory infections in cattle and swine, and to prevent Salmonella infection in poultry. It has favorable ADME properties and is a fluorinated analog of chloramphenicol that has good tissue penetration and is resistant to chloramphenicol acetyltransferase inactivation. Florfenicol inhibits ribosomal activity and effectively inhibits bacterial protein synthesis, which makes it effective against various bacteria. However, oral administration of florfenicol may alter animal microbiota.
