Compound ID | 348
Class: Beta-lactam
| Agent Type: | Semisynthetic; Small molecule; Direct acting; |
| Spectrum of activity: | Gram-negative |
| Mechanism of action: | Cell wall synthesis inhibitor |
| Target Pathogen: | Active against Enterobacteriaceae |
| Institute where first reported: | GSK, USA |
| Year first mentioned: | 1989 |
| Highest development stage: | Phase 1 |
| Development status: | Inactive |
| Reason dropped: | Potent in vitro activity did not translate to good in vivo efficacy; catechol-containing compounds: MIC50s 0.008-0.39 mg/L against P. aeruginosa are superior to that of ceftazidime. These catecholic beta-lactams were expected to show superior therapeutic responses against pseudomonal infections in humans, but they were discontinued due to side effects or unfavourable pharmacokinetics in phase I/ II studies |
