Summary of Clinical Use ![]() |
ACHN-975 (formulated for intravenous administration) progressed to Phase 1 clinical evaluation, but development was halted due to cardiotoxicity concerns [2]. |
Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects ![]() |
The antibacterial MMOA is inhibition of LpxC [2], which is an essential enzyme in the biosynthesis of lipid A (also know as endotoxin), the hydrophobic anchor of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and a major component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria [4-5]. LpxC is an attractive target for the development of antibacterial agents against Gram-negative bacterial pathogens, although safety and activity issues have so far precluded approval for clinical use of these drugs [1,3]. |
