ABSTRACT We determined in vivo efficacy and target PK/PD exposures of antofloxacin against Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus in the murine pneumonia model. The mean plasma free drug area under the concentration-time curve/MIC (fAUC/MIC) targets associated with stasis and 1-log10 and 2-log10 kill effects were 8.93, 19.2, and 48.1, respectively, for S. pneumoniae, whereas they were 30.5, 55.4, and 115.8, respectively, for S. aureus. The fAUC/MIC targets in murine lung epithelial lining fluids (ELF) for the same endpoints were nearly 2-fold higher than those in plasma.

ABSTRACT Omadacycline is an effective therapy for community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP). Given its potent activity against methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), we sought to determine the pharmacodynamic activity and target pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) exposures associated with a therapeutic effect in the neutropenic mouse pneumonia model against 10 MSSA/MRSA strains. The area under the concentration-time curve (AUC)/MIC associated with 1-log kill was noted at 24-h epithelial lining fluid (ELF) and plasma AUC/MIC exposures of ∼2 (ELF range, <0.93 to 19; plasma range, <1.06 to 17) and 2-log kill was noted at 24-h ELF and plasma AUC/MIC exposures of ∼12 (ELF range, 2.5 to 130; plasma range, 3.5 to 151).

ABSTRACTTedizolid, the active component of the prodrug tedizolid phosphate, is a novel oxazolidinone that is approximately 4 times more active by weight than linezolid againstStaphylococcus aureusin vitro. Thein vivoefficacy of tedizolid phosphate (15 mg/kg body weight intravenous [i.v.] twice a day [b.i.d.]) was compared to those of vancomycin (30 mg/kg i.v. b.i.d.) and daptomycin (18 mg/kg i.v. once a day [q.d.]) in a rabbit model of aortic valve endocarditis (AVE) caused by methicillin-resistantS. aureusstrain COL (infection inoculum of 107CFU). Median vegetation titers of daptomycin-treated rabbits were significantly lower than those of rabbits treated with tedizolid phosphate (15 mg/kg b.i.d.) (P= 0.016), whereas titers for vancomycin-treated compared to tedizolid-treated rabbits were not different (P= 0.984). The numbers of organisms in spleen and kidney tissues were similar for all treatment groups. A dose-ranging experiment was performed with tedizolid phosphate (2, 4, and 8 mg/kg b.i.d.) compared to vancomycin (30 mg/kg b.i.d.), using a higher infecting inoculum (108CFU) to determine the lowest efficacious dose of tedizolid phosphate. Tedizolid phosphate (2 mg/kg) (equivalent to 60% of the area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 h (AUC0–24) for the human 200-mg dose approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) was not efficacious. Tedizolid phosphate at 4 mg/kg (equivalent to 75% of the AUC0–24for the human 400-mg dose) and 8 mg/kg produced lower vegetation titers than the control, but neither was as efficacious as vancomycin.

ABSTRACTTedizolid (formally torezolid) is an expanded-spectrum oxazolidinone with enhancedin vitropotency against Gram-positive pathogens, including methicillin-susceptibleStaphylococcus aureus(MSSA) and methicillin-resistantS. aureus(MRSA). The efficacies of human simulated exposures of tedizolid and linezolid againstS. aureusin an immunocompetent mouse thigh model over 3 days were compared. Four strains of MRSA and one of MSSA with tedizolid and linezolid MICs ranging from 0.25 to 0.5 and from 2 to 4 μg/ml, respectively, were utilized. Tedizolid or linezolid was administered in a regimen simulating a human steady-state 24-h area under the free concentration-time curve of 200 mg every 24 h (Q24) or 600 mg Q12, respectively. Thighs were harvested after 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 72 h, and efficacy was determined by the change in bacterial density. The mean bacterial density in control mice increased over the 3-day period. After 24 h of treatment, a reduction in bacterial density of ≥1 log CFU was observed for both the tedizolid and linezolid treatments. Antibacterial activity was enhanced for both agents with a reduction of ≥2.6 log CFU after 72 h of treatment. Any statistically significant differences (P≤ 0.05) in efficacy between the agents were transient and did not persist throughout the 72-h treatment period. The tedizolid and linezolid regimens demonstrated similarin vivoefficacies against theS. aureusisolates tested. Both agents were bacteriostatic at 24 h and bactericidal on the third day of treatment. These data support the clinical utility of tedizolid for skin and skin structure infections caused byS. aureus, as well as the bactericidal activity of the oxazolidinones after 3 days of treatment.

ABSTRACT The protective efficacy of tedizolid phosphate, a novel oxazolidinone that potently inhibits bacterial protein synthesis, was compared to those of linezolid, vancomycin, and saline in a rabbit model of Staphylococcus aureus necrotizing pneumonia. Tedizolid phosphate was administered to rabbits at 6 mg/kg of body weight intravenously twice daily, which yielded values of the 24-h area under the concentration-time curve approximating those found in humans. The overall survival rate was 83% for rabbits treated with 6 mg/kg tedizolid phosphate twice daily and 83% for those treated with 50 mg/kg linezolid thrice daily (P = 0.66 by the log-rank test versus the results obtained with tedizolid phosphate). These survival rates were significantly greater than the survival rates of 17% for rabbits treated with 30 mg/kg vancomycin twice daily (P = 0.003) and 17% for rabbits treated with saline (P = 0.002). The bacterial count in the lungs of rabbits treated with tedizolid phosphate was significantly decreased compared to that in the lungs of rabbits treated with saline, although it was not significantly different from that in the lungs of rabbits treated with vancomycin or linezolid. The in vivo bacterial production of alpha-toxin and Panton-Valentine leukocidin, two key S. aureus-secreted toxins that play critical roles in the pathogenesis of necrotizing pneumonia, in the lungs of rabbits treated with tedizolid phosphate and linezolid was significantly inhibited compared to that in the lungs of rabbits treated with vancomycin or saline. Taken together, these results indicate that tedizolid phosphate is superior to vancomycin for the treatment of S. aureus necrotizing pneumonia because it inhibits the bacterial production of lung-damaging toxins at the site of infection.

ABSTRACT NOSO-502 is a novel odilorhabdin antibiotic with potent activity against Enterobacteriaceae. The goal of these studies was to determine which pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) indices and magnitude best correlated with efficacy in the murine thigh infection model. Six Escherichia coli and 6 Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates were utilized. MICs were determined using CLSI methods and ranged from 1 to 4 mg/liter. A neutropenic murine thigh infection model was utilized for all treatment studies. Single-dose plasma pharmacokinetics were determined in mice after subcutaneous administration of 7.81, 31.25, 125, and 500 mg/kg of body weight. Pharmacokinetic studies exhibited peak concentration (Cmax) values of 1.49 to 84.6 mg/liter, area under the concentration-time curve from 0 h to infinity (AUC0–∞) values of 1.94 to 352 mg · h/liter, and beta elimination half-lives of 0.41 to 1.1 h. Dose fractionation studies were performed using total drug doses of 7.81 mg/kg to 2,000 mg/kg fractionated into regimens of every 3 h (q3h), q6h, q12h, or q24h. Nonlinear regression analysis demonstrated that AUC/MIC was the PK/PD parameter that best correlated with efficacy (R2, 0.86). In subsequent studies, we used the neutropenic murine thigh infection model to determine the magnitude of NOSO-502 AUC/MIC needed for the efficacy against a diverse group of Enterobacteriaceae. Mice were treated with 4-fold-increasing doses (range, 3.91 to 1,000 mg/kg) of NOSO-502 every 6 h. The mean 24-h free-drug AUC/MIC (fAUC)/MIC) magnitudes associated with net stasis and 1-log kill endpoint for K. pneumoniae were 4.22 and 17.7, respectively. The mean fAUC/MIC magnitude associated with net stasis endpoint for E. coli was 10.4. NOSO-502 represents a promising novel, first-in-class odilorhabdin antibiotic with in vivo potency against Enterobacteriaceae.

ABSTRACT Rezafungin (CD101) is a novel echinocandin under development for once-weekly intravenous (i.v.) dosing. We evaluated the pharmacodynamics (PD) of rezafungin against 4 Candida tropicalis and 4 Candida dubliniensis strains, using the neutropenic mouse invasive candidiasis model. The area under the concentration-time curve (AUC)/MIC was a robust predictor of efficacy (R2 = 0.93 and 0.72, respectively). The stasis free-drug 24-h AUC/MIC target exposure for the group ranged from 3 to 25, whereas the 1-log-kill free-drug 24-h AUC/MIC target exposure ranged from 4.3 to 62. These values are similar to those found in previous rezafungin PD studies with other Candida spp. Based on recent surveillance susceptibility data, AUC/MIC targets are likely to be exceeded for >99% of C. tropicalis and C. dubliniensis isolates with the previously studied human dose of 400 mg i.v. once weekly.

ABSTRACT Antimicrobial resistance among uropathogens has increased the rates of infection-related morbidity and mortality. Antofloxacin is a novel fluoroquinolone with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against urinary Gram-negative bacilli, such as Escherichia coli. This study monitored the in vivo efficacy of antofloxacin using bioluminescent imaging and determined pharmacokinetic (PK)/pharmacodynamic (PD) targets against E. coli isolates in a neutropenic murine thigh infection model. The PK properties were determined after subcutaneous administration of antofloxacin at 2.5, 10, 40, and 160 mg/kg of body weight. Following thigh infection, the mice were treated with 2-fold-increasing doses of antofloxacin from 2.5 to 80 mg/kg administered every 12 h. Efficacy was assessed by quantitative determination of the bacterial burdens in thigh homogenates and was compared with the bioluminescent density. Antofloxacin demonstrated both static and killing endpoints in relation to the initial burden against all study strains. The PK/PD index area under the concentration-time curve (AUC)/MIC correlated well with efficacy (R 2 = 0.92), and the dose-response relationship was relatively steep, as observed with escalating doses of antofloxacin. The mean free drug AUC/MIC targets necessary to produce net bacterial stasis and 1-log10 and 2-log10 kill for each isolate were 38.7, 66.1, and 147.0 h, respectively. In vivo bioluminescent imaging showed a rapid decrease in the bioluminescent density at free drug AUC/MIC exposures that exceeded the stasis targets. The integration of these PD targets combined with the results of PK studies with humans will be useful in setting optimal dosing regimens for the treatment of urinary tract infections due to E. coli.

ABSTRACTCationic antimicrobial peptides (CAPs) play important roles in host immune defenses. Plectasin is a defensin-like CAP isolated from the saprophytic fungusPseudoplectania nigrella. NZ2114 is a novel variant of plectasin with potent activity against Gram-positive bacteria. In this study, we investigated (i) thein vivopharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) characteristics of NZ2114 and (ii) thein vivoefficacy of NZ2114 in comparison with those of two conventional antibiotics, vancomycin or daptomycin, in an experimental rabbit infective endocarditis (IE) model due to a methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus(MRSA) strain (ATCC 33591). All NZ2114 regimens (5, 10, and 20 mg/kg of body weight, intravenously [i.v.], twice daily for 3 days) significantly decreased MRSA densities in cardiac vegetations, kidneys, and spleen versus those in untreated controls, except in one scenario (5 mg/kg, splenic MRSA counts). The efficacy of NZ2114 was clearly dose dependent in all target tissues. At 20 mg/kg, NZ2114 showed a significantly greater efficacy than vancomycin (P< 0.001) and an efficacy similar to that of daptomycin. Of importance, only NZ2114 (in 10- and 20-mg/kg regimens) prevented posttherapy relapse in cardiac vegetations, kidneys, and spleen, while bacterial counts in these target tissues continued to increase in vancomycin- and daptomycin-treated animals. Thesein vivoefficacies were equivalent and significantly correlated with three PK indices investigated:fCmax/MIC (the maximum concentration of the free, unbound fraction of a drug in serum divided by the MIC),fAUC/MIC (where AUC is the area under the concentration-time curve), andf%T>MIC(%T>MICis the cumulative percentage of a 24-h period that the drug concentration exceeds the MIC under steady-state pharmacokinetic conditions), as analyzed by a sigmoid maximum-effect (Emax) model (R2> 0.69). The superior efficacy of NZ2114 in this MRSA IE model suggests the potential for further development of this compound for treating serious MRSA infections.
