Cinoxacin, a synthetic antibacterial compound, was given orally in a dose of 500 mg to 8 patients undergoing transurethral prostatectomy. The drug was well absorbed and the peak plasma level (mean 13.9 mcg/ml) occurred 1 or 2 hours after administration. Concentrations of cinoxacin in the urine reached a peak (mean 236.5 mcg/ml) 4 to 6 hours after dosing, and remained higher than the mean MIC for most common urinary pathogens for 12 hours after administration. The concentration of cinoxacin in prostatic tissue 2.5-4 hours after administration varied between 0.6 and 6.3 mcg/g. The individual variations were unrelated to the concurrent plasma level and appeared to be influenced more by inter-subject variation than by the physicochemical properties of the drug. In 1 patient the cinoxacin level was estimated in renal tissue (70.1 mcg/g), in muscle (12.6 mcg/g), and in perirenal fat (4.7 mcg/g).

Cinoxacin (CINX) was administered twice a day for 7 consecutive days (400 mg X 2/day) to 34 female patients suffering from acute simple cystitis. The overall clinical efficacy was excellent in 15 cases (94%) and moderate in one case (6%) according to the criteria for clinical evaluation by the UTI committee. The efficacy was not determined in 18 cases. Bacteriological examination revealed 11 cases of single infection by E. coli, 2 cases of single infection by P. cepacia and S. epidermidis and one case of single infection by S. sunguis. MIC of E. coli ranged from 3.13 to 6.25 micrograms/ml. MIC of P. cepacia was 3.13 micrograms/ml and MIC of S. epidermidis more than 100 micrograms/ml. All the strains were eradicated with the efficacy of 100%. There was no relapse of acute simple cystitis in 16 cases after 7 days treatment of CINX. No serious side effects were recognized except for slight general fatigue and heart burn in 2 cases. It was thus concluded that CINX is clinically effective and safe for acute simple cystitis caused by E. coli and P. cepacia.
