  <class>SmallMolecule</class>
  <description>Pefloxacin is an organic compound with the chemical formula C17H20FN3O3 and an average molecular weight of 333.36 g/mol. Pefloxacin belongs to the quinoline carboxylic acids, a subclass of quinolines and derivatives within the organic compounds. It is categorized under the superclass of organoheterocyclic compounds.

The substance is identified in three recorded sources, including antibiotics used in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and veterinary products, as well as ceilings and floors within building and construction. Exposure to this compound can occur via oral or inhalation routes. Pefloxacin acts on five recorded protein targets; it functions as an inhibitor of DNA gyrase subunit A (gyrA), DNA topoisomerase 4 subunit A (parC), DNA topoisomerase 2-alpha (TOP2A), and DNA topoisomerase 1 (topA), in addition to one other protein.</description>
