How It Works

Bromfenac inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, reducing prostaglandin synthesis; Moxifloxacin inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, preventing DNA replication

Mechanism Steps

1Bromfenac inhibits COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, reducing conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins
2Decreased prostaglandins lead to reduced inflammation and pain
3Moxifloxacin enters bacterial cells and binds to DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV
4Inhibition of these enzymes prevents bacterial DNA replication, transcription, and repair
5Bacterial cell death occurs due to disruption of DNA processes
