ABSTRACT XRP 2868 is a new streptogramin antibiotic with broad-spectrum activity against gram-positive cocci. We used the neutropenic murine thigh and lung infection models to characterize the time course of antimicrobial activity of XRP 2868 and determine which pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) parameter and magnitude best correlated with efficacy. Serum levels following four two- to fourfold-escalating single-dose levels of XRP 2868 were measured by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry assay. In vivo postantibiotic effects (PAEs) were determined after doses of 2.5, 10, and 40 mg/kg. Mice had 106.8 to 108.4 CFU/thigh of strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae ATCC 10813 or Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213 at the start of therapy when treated for 24 h with 2.5 to 640 mg/kg/day of XRP 2868 fractionated for 3-, 6-, 12-, and 24-h dosing regimens. Nonlinear regression analysis was used to determine which PK/PD parameter best correlated with CFU/thigh at 24 h. Pharmacokinetic studies exhibited peak dose values of 0.03 to 0.07, area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) dose values of 0.02 to 0.07, and half-lives of 0.35 to 1.27 h. XRP 2868 produced in vivo PAEs of 0.5 to 3.4 h with S. pneumoniae strain ATCC 10813 and −1.5 to 10.7 h with S. aureus strain ATCC 29213. The 24-h AUC/MIC was the PK/PD parameter that best correlated with efficacy. In subsequent studies, we used the neutropenic murine thigh infection model to determine if the magnitude of the AUC/MIC needed for the efficacy of XRP 2868 varied among pathogens (including resistant strains). Mice had 106.1 to 107.8 CFU/thigh of four isolates of S. aureus (three methicillin-susceptible and one methicillin-resistant strain) and nine isolates of S. pneumoniae (one penicillin-susceptible, four penicillin-intermediate, and four penicillin-resistant strains) when treated for 24 h with 0.16 to 640 mg/kg of XRP 2868 every 6 h. A sigmoid dose-response model was used to estimate the doses (mg/kg/24 h) required to achieve a net bacteriostatic affect over 24 h. MICs ranged from 0.06 to 0.25 μg/ml. The 24-h AUC/MICs for each static dose (20.7 to 252 mg/kg/day) varied from 3 to 70. Mean 24-h AUC/MICs ± standard deviations (SDs) for S. pneumoniae and S. aureus isolates were 14 ± 10 and 31 ± 16, respectively. Beta-lactam and macrolide resistance did not alter the magnitude of AUC/MIC required for efficacy.

ABSTRACT Garenoxacin is a new des-F(6)-quinolone with broad-spectrum activity against both gram-positive cocci and gram-negative bacilli. We used the neutropenic murine thigh infection model to characterize the time course of antimicrobial activity of garenoxacin and determine which pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) parameter best correlated with efficacy. Serum drug levels following three fourfold-escalating single-dose levels of garenoxacin were measured by microbiologic assay. In vivo postantibiotic effects (PAEs) were determined after doses of 16 and 64 mg/kg of body weight. Mice had 106.5 to 106.7 CFU of Streptococcus pneumoniae strain ATCC 10813 or Staphylococcus aureus strain ATCC 33591 per thigh when they were treated for 24 h with garenoxacin at a dose of 4 to 128 mg/kg/day fractionated for 3-, 6-, 12-, and 24-hour dosing regimens. Nonlinear regression analysis was used to determine which PK-PD parameter best correlated with the measurement of CFU/thigh at 24 h. Pharmacokinetic studies yielded peak/dose values of 0.2 to 0.3, area under the concentration-time curve (AUC)/dose values of 0.1 to 0.5, and half-lives of 0.7 to 1.6 h. Garenoxacin produced in vivo PAEs of 1.4 to 8.2 h with S. pneumoniae ATCC 10813, 7.6 to >12.4 h with S. aureus ATCC 25923, and 0 to 1.5 h with Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC 43816. The 24-h AUC/MIC ratio was the PK-PD parameter that best correlated with efficacy (R 2= 71 to 90% for the two organisms compared with 43 to 56% for the peak/MIC ratio and 47 to 75% for percent time above the MIC [% T>MIC]).In subsequent studies we used the neutropenic murine thigh infection model to determine if the magnitude of the AUC/MIC ratio needed for efficacy of garenoxacin varied among pathogens (including resistant strains). Mice had 105.9 to 107.2 CFU of 6 strains of S. aureus (2 methicillin resistant), 11 strains of S. pneumoniae (5 penicillin susceptible, 1 penicillin intermediate, and 5 penicillin resistant, and of the resistant strains, 3 were also ciprofloxacin resistant), and 4 gram-negative strains per thigh when treated for 24 h with 1 to 64 mg of garenoxacin per kg every 12 h. A sigmoid dose-response model was used to estimate the doses (mg/kg/24 h) required to achieve a net bacteriostatic effect over 24 h. MICs ranged from 0.008 to 4μ g/ml. The free drug 24-h AUC/MIC ratios for each static dose (2.8 to 128 mg/kg/day) varied from 8.2 to 145. The mean 24-h AUC/MIC ratios ± standard deviations for S. pneumoniae, S. aureus, and gram-negative strains were 33 ± 18, 81± 37, and 33 ± 30, respectively. Methicillin, penicillin, or ciprofloxacin resistance did not alter the magnitude of the AUC/MIC ratio required for efficacy.

ABSTRACT Gatifloxacin is a new 8-methoxy fluoroquinolone with enhanced activity against gram-positive cocci. We used the neutropenic murine thigh infection model to characterize the time course of antimicrobial activity of gatifloxacin and determine which pharmacokinetic (PK)-pharmacodynamic (PD) parameter best correlated with efficacy. The thighs of mice were infected with 106.5 to 107.4 CFU of strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, or Escherichia coli, and the mice were then treated for 24 h with 0.29 to 600 mg of gatifloxacin per kg of body weight per day, with the dose fractionated for dosing every 3, 6, 12, and 24 h. Levels in serum were measured by microbiologic assay. In vivo postantibiotic effects (PAEs) were calculated from serial values of the log10 numbers of CFU per thigh 2 to 4 h after the administration of doses of 8 and 32 mg/kg. Nonlinear regression analysis was used to determine which PK-PD parameter best correlated with the numbers of CFU per thigh at 24 h. Pharmacokinetic studies revealed peak/dose values of 0.23 to 0.32, area under the concentration-time curve (AUC)/dose values of 0.47 to 0.62, and half-lives of 0.6 to 1.1 h. Gatifloxacin produced in vivo PAEs of 0.2 to 3.1 h for S. pneumoniae and 0.4 to 2.3 h for S. aureus. The 24-h AUC/MIC was the PK-PD parameter that best correlated with efficacy (R 2 = 90 to 94% for the three organisms, whereas R 2 = 70 to 81% for peak level/MIC and R 2 = 48 to 73% for the time that the concentration in serum was greater than the MIC). There was some reduced activity when dosing every 24 h was used due to the short half-life of gatifloxacin in mice. In subsequent studies we used the neutropenic and nonneutropenic murine thigh and lung infection models to determine if the magnitude of the AUC/MIC needed for the efficacy of gatifloxacin varied among pathogens (including resistant strains) and infection sites. The mice were infected with 106.5 to 107.4 CFU of four isolates of S. aureus (one methicillin resistant) per thigh, nine isolates of S. pneumoniae (two penicillin intermediate, four penicillin resistant, and two ciprofloxacin resistant) per thigh, four isolates of the family Enterobacteriaceae per thigh, a single isolate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa per thigh, and 108.3 CFU of Klebsiella pneumoniae per lung. The mice were then treated for 24 h with 0.29 to 600 mg of gatifloxacin per kg every 6 or 12 h. A sigmoid dose-response model was used to estimate the dose (in milligrams per kilogram per 24 h) required to achieve a net bacteriostatic effect over 24 h. MICs ranged from 0.015 to 8 μg/ml. The 24-h AUC/MICs for each static dose (1.7 to 592) varied from 16 to 72. Mean ± standard deviation 24-h AUC/MICs for isolates of the family Enterobacteriaceae, S. pneumoniae, and S. aureus were 41 ± 21, 52 ± 20, and 36 ± 9, respectively. Methicillin, penicillin, or ciprofloxacin resistance did not alter the magnitude of the AUC/MIC required for efficacy. The 24-h AUC/MICs required to achieve bacteriostatic effects against K. pneumoniae were quite similar in the thigh and lung (70 versus 56 in neutropenic mice and 32 versus 43 in nonneutropenic mice, respectively). The magnitude of the 24-h AUC/MIC of gatifloxacin required for efficacy against multiple pathogens varied only fourfold and was not significantly altered by drug resistance or site of infection.

ABSTRACT S-3578 is a novel beta-lactam with enhanced activity against drug-resistant gram-positive cocci such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). We used murine penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae lung infection and neutropenic murine systemic MRSA infection models to determine the pharmacokinetic (PK)-pharmacodynamic (PD) parameter that best correlated with efficacy. Pharmacokinetic studies revealed that the maximum concentration in serum/dose values for S-3578 and cefepime in plasma in the lung infection model were 1.21 to 1.54 and 0.97 to 1.29, respectively; those for S-3578 in plasma in the systemic infection model were 0.78 to 1.02. The area under the concentration-time curve (AUC)/dose values for S-3578 and cefepime in plasma in the lung infection model were 0.98 to 1.13 and 0.77 to 1.04, respectively, and those for S-3578 in plasma in the systemic infection model were 1.03 to 1.11. The half-lives of S-3578 and cefepime in plasma in the lung infection model were 0.29 to 0.38 and 0.29 to 0.34, respectively, and those of S-3578 in plasma in the systemic infection model were 0.40 to 0.61. The time above the MIC was the PK-PD parameter that best correlated with efficacy in the murine lung infection model (R2 = 84 and 92% for S-3578 and cefepime in plasma, respectively). There was a twofold increase in the dose of S-3578 in the systemic infection model compared to that in the pneumonia model, yet the AUCs were the same. This may be due to the different MICs for the two pathogens.

ABSTRACT Gepotidacin (formerly called GSK2140944) is a novel triazaacenaphthylene bacterial topoisomerase inhibitor with in vitro activity against conventional and biothreat pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Using neutropenic murine thigh and lung infection models, the pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamics (PK-PD) of gepotidacin against S. aureus and S. pneumoniae were characterized. Candidate models were fit to single-dose PK data from uninfected mice (for doses of 16 to 128 mg/kg of body weight given subcutaneously [s.c.]). Dose fractionation studies (1 isolate/organism; 2 to 512 mg/kg/day) and dose-ranging studies (5 isolates/organism; 2 to 2,048 mg/kg/day; MIC ranges of 0.5 to 2 mg/liter for S. aureus and 0.125 to 1 mg/liter for S. pneumoniae) were conducted. The presence of an in vivo postantibiotic effect (PAE) was also evaluated. Relationships between the change from baseline in log10 CFU at 24 h and the ratio of the free-drug plasma area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) to the MIC (AUC/MIC ratio), the ratio of the maximum concentration of drug in plasma (C max) to the MIC (C max/MIC ratio), and the percentage of a 24-h period that the drug concentration exceeded the MIC (%T>MIC) were evaluated using Hill-type models. Plasma and epithelial lining fluid (ELF) PK data were best fit by a four-compartment model with linear distributional clearances, a capacity-limited clearance, and a first-order absorption rate. The ELF penetration ratio in uninfected mice was 0.65. Since the growth of both organisms was poor in the murine lung infection model, lung efficacy data were not reported. As determined using the murine thigh infection model, the free-drug plasma AUC/MIC ratio was the PK-PD index most closely associated with efficacy (r 2 = 0.936 and 0.897 for S. aureus and S. pneumoniae, respectively). Median free-drug plasma AUC/MIC ratios of 13.4 and 58.9 for S. aureus, and 7.86 and 16.9 for S. pneumoniae, were associated with net bacterial stasis and a 1-log10 CFU reduction from baseline, respectively. Dose-independent PAE durations of 3.07 to 12.5 h and 5.25 to 8.46 h were demonstrated for S. aureus and S. pneumoniae, respectively.

ABSTRACTThe pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) parameters which correlated with thein vivoefficacy of cefiderocol were evaluated using neutropenic murine thigh and lung infection models in which the infections were caused by a variety of Gram-negative bacilli. The dose fractionation study using the thigh infection model in which the infection was caused byPseudomonas aeruginosashowed that the cumulative percentage of a 24-h period that the free drug concentration in plasma exceeds the MIC (%fT>MIC) rather than the free peak level divided by the MIC (fCmax/MIC) and the area under the free concentration-time curve over 24 h divided by the MIC (fAUC/MIC) was the PK/PD parameter that best correlated with efficacy. The study with multiple carbapenem-resistant strains revealed that the %fT>MICdetermined in iron-depleted cation-adjusted Mueller-Hinton broth (ID-CAMHB) better reflected thein vivoefficacy of cefiderocol than the %fT>MICdetermined in cation-adjusted Mueller-Hinton broth (CAMHB). The mean %fT>MICof cefiderocol required for a 1-log10reduction against 10 strains ofEnterobacteriaceaeand 3 strains ofPseudomonas aeruginosain the thigh infection models were 73.3% and 77.2%, respectively. The mean %fT>MICforEnterobacteriaceae,P. aeruginosa,Acinetobacter baumannii, andStenotrophomonas maltophiliain the lung infection model were 64.4%, 70.3%, 88.1%, and 53.9%, respectively. These results indicate that cefiderocol has potent efficacy against Gram-negative bacilli, including carbapenem-resistant strains, irrespective of the bacterial species, in neutropenic thigh and lung infection models and that thein vivoefficacy correlated with thein vitroMIC under iron-deficient conditions.

ABSTRACT PPI-0903 is a new cephalosporin with broad-spectrum activity, including beta-lactam-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus. We used the neutropenic murine thigh and lung infection models to examine the pharmacodynamic characteristics of PPI-0903. Serum drug levels following four fourfold-escalating single doses of PPI-0903 were measured by microbiologic assay. In vivo postantibiotic effects (PAEs) were determined after doses of 1.56, 6.25, 25, and 100 mg/kg of body weight in mice infected with S. pneumoniae ATCC 10813, S. aureus ATCC 29213, or Escherichia coli ATCC 25922. Dose fractionation studies over a 24-h dose range of 0.39 to 1,600 mg/kg were administered every 3, 6, 12, or 24 hours. Nonlinear regression analysis was used to determine which pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) index (total and free 65% drug) best correlated with CFU/thigh at 24 h. Similar to other beta-lactam antibiotics, PPI-0903 produced short to modest in vivo PAEs with either S. pneumoniae or E. coli. The percent time that serum concentrations were above the MIC (%T>MIC) was the PK-PD index that best correlated with efficacy (R 2 = 84 to 88% for the three organisms, compared with 9 to 41% for peak/MIC and 30 to 82% for the area under the concentration-time curve/MIC). In subsequent studies we used the neutropenic murine thigh infection model to determine if the magnitude of the free-drug %T>MIC needed for efficacy of PPI-0903 varied among pathogens (including resistant strains). Mice infected with one of five isolates of S. pneumoniae, four isolates of S. aureus, or four gram-negative bacilli were treated for 24 h with 0.10 to 400 mg/kg of PPI-0903 every 6 h. A sigmoid dose-response model was used to estimate the doses (mg/kg/24 h) required to achieve a net bacteriostatic affect over 24 h and to produce a reduction in the burden of organisms from the start of therapy by 1 and 2 log10 CFU/thigh. MICs ranged from 0.008 to 1 μg/ml. Mean free-drug %T>MICs ± the standard deviation associated with the static effect endpoint for S. pneumoniae, S. aureus, and gram-negative isolates were 39 ± 9, 26 ± 8, and 32 ± 6, respectively. Methicillin and penicillin resistance did not alter the magnitude of free-drug %T>MIC required for efficacy. The free-drug %T>MIC necessary for efficacy was slightly reduced in animals with normal neutrophil counts. Treatment effect was similar in both the thigh and lung infection models. The pharmacodynamic characteristics of PPI-0903 are similar to those of other compounds within the cephalosporin class.

ABSTRACT Ceftobiprole medocaril is the parenteral prodrug of ceftobiprole, a novel pyrrolidinone broad-spectrum cephalosporin with in vitro and in vivo bactericidal activities against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (PRSP). We have used murine thigh and lung infection models in neutropenic and normal mice to characterize the in vivo pharmacokinetic (PK)-pharmacodynamic (PD) activities of ceftobiprole against multiple strains of S. aureus (including MRSA), S. pneumoniae (including PRSP), and gram-negative bacilli. Serum levels of ceftobiprole following the administration of multiple doses were determined by a microbiological assay. In vivo bactericidal activities and postantibiotic effects (PAEs) of ceftobiprole against MRSA and PRSP strains were determined from serial CFU/thigh values following single doses of ceftobiprole (40 and 160 mg/kg of body weight). Dose fractionation studies were used to determine which PK-PD index correlated best with activity. Magnitudes of the PK-PD indices were calculated from MICs and PK parameters. A sigmoid dose-response model was used to estimate the dose (mg/kg/24 h) required to achieve a static and 2-log10 kill effects over 24 h. PK results showed area under the concentration-time curve/dose values of 1.8 to 2.8 and half-lives of 0.29 to 0.51 h. MICs ranged from 0.015 to 2 μg/ml. Ceftobiprole demonstrated time-dependent killing; its in vivo PAEs varied from 3.8 h to 4.8 h for MRSA and from 0 to 0.8 h for PRSP. The time above MIC (T > MIC) correlated best with efficacy for both MRSA and PRSP. The T > MIC values required for the static doses were significantly longer (P < 0.001) for Enterobacteriaceae (36 to 45%) than for S. aureus (14 to 28%) and S. pneumoniae (15 to 22%). The drug showed activities in the lung model similar to those in the thigh model. The presence of neutrophils significantly enhanced the activity of ceftobiprole against S. pneumoniae but only slightly against Klebsiella pneumoniae. Based on its PD profile, ceftobiprole is a promising new β-lactam agent with activity against gram-negative and gram-positive organisms including MRSA and PRSP.

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.

ABSTRACTTorezolid phosphate (TR-701) is the phosphate monoester prodrug of the oxazolidinone TR-700 which demonstrates potentin vitroactivity against Gram-positive bacteria, including methicillin-susceptibleStaphylococcus aureus(MSSA) and methicillin-resistantS. aureus(MRSA). The pharmacodynamics of TR-701 or TR-700 (TR-701/700) againstS. aureusis incompletely defined. Single-dose pharmacokinetic studies were conducted in mice for TR-701/700. Forty-eight-hour dose range and 24-hour dose fractionation studies were conducted in a neutropenic mouse thigh model ofS. aureusinfection using MRSA ATCC 33591 to identify the dose and schedule of administration of TR-701/700 that was linked with optimized antimicrobial effect. Additional dose range studies compared the efficacies of TR-701/700 and linezolid for one MSSA strain and one community-associated MRSA strain. In dose range studies, TR-701/700 was equally bactericidal against MSSA and MRSA. Mean doses of 37.6 and 66.9 mg/kg of body weight/day of TR-701/700 resulted in stasis and 1 log CFU/g decreases in bacterial densities, respectively, at 24 h, and mean doses of 35.3, 46.6, and 71.1 mg/kg/day resulted in stasis and 1 and 2 log CFU/g reductions, respectively, at 48 h. Linezolid administered at doses as high as 150 mg/kg/day did not achieve stasis at either time point. Dose fractionation studies demonstrated that the area under the concentration-time curve over 24 h in the steady state divided by the MIC (AUC/MIC ratio) was the pharmacodynamic index for TR-701/700 that was linked with efficacy. TR-701/700 was highly active against MSSA and MRSA,in vivo, and was substantially more efficacious than linezolid, although linezolid's top exposure has half the human exposure. Dose fractionation studies showed that AUC/MIC was the pharmacodynamic index linked with efficacy, indicating that once-daily dosing in humans is feasible.

ABSTRACT The increasing emergence of penicillin-resistant and multidrug-resistant strains of Streptococcus pneumoniaewill create a serious therapeutic problem in coming years. Trovafloxacin is a novel naphthyridone quinolone with promising activity against S. pneumoniae, including penicillin-resistant strains (MIC for 90% of the isolates tested, 0.25 μg/ml). We compared its in vivo efficacy with that of other fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin, temafloxacin, and sparfloxacin) and a reference beta-lactam (amoxicillin) in a model of acute experimental pneumonia. Immunocompetent Swiss mice were infected by peroral tracheal delivery of a virulent, penicillin-susceptible strain (MIC, 0.03 μg/ml); leukopenic Swiss mice were infected with three poorly virulent, penicillin-resistant strains (MICs, 4 to 8 μg/ml) and a ciprofloxacin-resistant strain (MIC, 32 μg/ml). Treatments were started 6 h (immunocompetent mice) or 3 h (leukopenic mice) after infection. Doses ranging from 12.5 to 300 mg/kg were given at 12- or 8-h intervals for 3 days. Trovafloxacin (25 mg/kg) was the most effective agent in vivo against penicillin-susceptible and -resistant strains. Corresponding survival rates were 2- to 4-fold higher than with 50-mg/kg sparfloxacin or temafloxacin and 8- to 16-fold higher than with 100-mg/kg ciprofloxacin. The ratios of the area under the concentration-time curve to the MIC in serum and lung tissue were more favorable with trovafloxacin than with the other quinolones. Efficacy in vivo correlated with pharmacokinetic parameters. Trovafloxacin shows potential for the treatment of infections due to penicillin-susceptible and -resistant S. pneumoniae but appears to be ineffective against a ciprofloxacin-resistant strain.
