Description:

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

Solithromycin, also known as CEM-101 and OP-1068, is a ketolide antibiotic undergoing clinical development for the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and other infections. It is expected to be the first macrolide antibiotic available in intravenous, oral, and pediatric suspension formulations in over 20 years. Solithromycin exhibits excellent in vitro activity against a broad spectrum of Gram-positive respiratory tract pathogens, including macrolide-resistant strains. Solithromycin has activity against a wide variety of pathogens, and further research is being conducted for other infections.

More Info
Biological target:
Solithromycin binds to the large 50S subunit of the ribosome, with IC50s of 7.5 ng/mL, 40 ng/mL, and 125 ng/mL for Streptococcus pneumonia, Staphylococcus aureus, and Haemophilus influenzae, respectively.
In vitro activity:
Solithromycin has therapeutic potential in managing group B streptococcus (GBS) infections, even in the presence of antibiotic resistance. Solithromycin demonstrated lower MIC50 and MIC90 values against erythromycin-susceptible strains compared to penicillin, a first-line agent for GBS infections. Against erythromycin-resistant strains, solithromycin showed a MIC50 of 0.03 µg/ml and a MIC90 of 0.125 µg/ml, with a comparable MIC50 to penicillin (0.032 µg/ml) and a 2.7-fold lower MIC90 than solithromycin. Reference: Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2014 Mar; 58(3): 1693–1698. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24379197/
In vivo activity:
Solithromycin has therapeutic potential in the treatment of bacterial ear infections. This study tested solithromycin treatment in a chinchilla model of bacterial ear infections. For ear infections caused by NTHi, solithromycin successfully cleared the infection in over 85% of cases when the bacteria were susceptible to the drug. For infections caused by S. pneumoniae, solithromycin completely cleared the infection when the bacteria were susceptible to the drug, but some infection persisted when resistance was higher.
