Description:

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

Oxacillin is a narrow-spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic of the penicillin class. It is similar to methicillin, and has replaced methicillin in clinical use. Other related compounds are nafcillin, cloxacillin, dicloxacillin, and flucloxacillin. Since it is resistant to penicillinase enzymes, such as that produced by Staphylococcus aureus, it is widely used clinically in the US to treat penicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Product Data
Biological target:
Oxacillin is a narrow-spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic of the penicillin class.
In vitro activity:
As oxacillin is known to increase mecA expression levels, it may be possible to attenuate the toxicity of CA-MRSA by using this antibiotic. Subinhibitory oxacillin concentrations induced PBP2a expression, repressed Agr activity, and, as a consequence, decreased phenol-soluble modulin (PSM) secretion by CA-MRSA strains. However, consistent with other studies, oxacillin also increased the expression levels of alpha-toxin and Panton-Valentine leucocidin (PVL). Reference: Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2014;58(2):1100-7. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24295979/
In vivo activity:
Co-administration with TXA709 renders oxacillin efficacious in mouse models of both systemic and tissue infection with MRSA, with this efficacy being observed at human-equivalent doses of oxacillin well below that recommended for daily adult use. Pharmacokinetic evaluations in mice reveal that co-administration with TXA709 also increases total exposure to oxacillin.
