Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

AFN-1252, also known as AFN-12520000; API-1252; Debio-1452, is FASII Inhibitor which is potentially for the treatment of acute bacterial skin. AFN-1252 exhibits typical MIC(90) values of ≤0·015 μg/ml against diverse clinical isolates of S. aureus, oral absorption, long elimination half-live and efficacy in animal models. AFN-1252 efficiently blocked daptomycin-induced phospholipid decoy production, even in the case of isolates resistant to AFN-1252, which prevented the inactivation of daptomycin and resulted in sustained bacterial killing. In turn, daptomycin prevented the fatty acid-dependent emergence of AFN-1252-resistant isolates in vitro

Biological target:
AFN-1252 (Debio 1452) is a potent inhibitor of enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (FabI).
In vitro activity:
The effect of increasing concentrations of AFN-1252 on the growth rate of L. monocytogenes in planktonic culture was measured to determine the contribution of LmFabI versus LmFabK1 to fatty acid synthesis and growth. AFN-1252 caused the cessation of cell growth after 1 to 2 cellular doublings in bacterial genes encoding a single, essential FabI. In contrast, increasing concentrations of AFN-1252 slowed but did not stop the growth of L. monocytogenes (Fig. 3A). Pathway labeling experiments showed that AFN-1252 selectively inhibited lipid synthesis, with minimal perturbation to protein, DNA, and RNA synthesis (Fig. 3B). Therefore, the reduction of growth rate by AFN-1252 was attributed to on-target inhibition of LmFabI and fatty acid synthesis. Reference: Infect Immun. 2016 Dec; 84(12): 3597–3607. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5116736/
In vivo activity:
The first experiments involved administering a single oral dose of AFN-1252 (100 mg/kg) 2 h after infecting the granuloma pouches and examining the effect of AFN-1252 on pouch-associated CFU within 48 h of dosing (Fig. 3A). Little change in the bacterial load was detected within the first 12 h of AFN-1252 treatment, but between 24 and 48 h, there was a 3.0-log10 reduction in the mean CFU/ml of pouch fluid collected from AFN-1252-treated mice compared to untreated mice (Fig. 3A). Wood46 counts in untreated pouch fluid increased to 7.5 log10 CFU/ml at 24 h, while bacterial counts in AFN-1252-treated pouches dropped to 4.4 log10 CFU/ml in 24 h. When 100 mg/kg of AFN-1252 was orally administered once a day for 3 days (+2, +26, and +50 h), AFN-1252 reduced 72-hour S. aureus CFU counts in the pouches of treated animals by 5 orders of magnitude compared to untreated controls, which was near the detection limit for this model (Fig. 3B). These data illustrate that orally administered AFN-1252 can reach therapeutic levels in the mouse granuloma pouch and effectively resolve the S. aureus infection associated with the pouch fluid.
