Biological target:
Afabicin (Debio 1450) is the prodrug of Debio1452, specifically targeting staphylococci without significant activity against other Gram-positive or Gram-negative species. Debio1452 is an inhibitor FabI, an enzyme critical to fatty acid biosynthesis in staphylococci.
In vitro activity:
Afabicin desphosphono (Debio 1452, the active form of afabicin [Debio 1450]) is an inhibitor of FabI enoyl-Acyl carrier protein reductase and has specific and extremely potent activity against Staphylococci, including strains resistant to current antistaphylococcal Product data sheet MedKoo Biosciences || http://www.medkoo.com || sales@medkoo.com 2500 Gateway Centre Blvd Suite 400, Morrisville, NC27560, USA. Tel: 919-636-5577, Fax: 919-980-4831 agents. Using mouse J774 macrophages and human THP-1 monocytes, this study showed that afabicin desphosphono: (i) accumulates rapidly in cells, reaching stable cellular-to-extracellular concentration ratios of about 30; (ii) is recovered entirely and free in the cellsoluble fraction (no evidence of stable association with proteins or other macromolecules).
