Alatrofloxacin (Trovan IV) is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic developed by Pfizer, delivered as a mesylate salt.[1] It is the parental prodrug of trovafloxacin (Trovan) meant for intravenous administration. Trovafloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic introduced in 1998 that encountered criticism for its Nigerian trials and adverse clinical reactions.[2][3]

Trovafloxacin and alatrofloxacin were both withdrawn from the U.S. market in 2001.
