Compound ID | 738
Class: Oxazolidinone
| Spectrum of activity: | Gram-negative |
| Details of activity: | Use against Endocarditis infections |
| Institute where first reported: | Pharmacia Corporation (Pfizer) |
| Year first mentioned: | 2002 |
| Highest developmental phase: | Phase 1 |
| Development status: | Inactive |
| Reason Dropped: | This was probably one of a long series of oxazolidinones from Pharmacia - not followed up on by Pfizer. Likely no signficant improvement over linezolid. Lots of companies worked on oxazolidinones after Pharmacia/Pfizer registered linezolid. There are some toxicities that it has been hard to overcome. A newer oxazolidinone [tadezolid] may have some potency improvements over linezolid [and activity against some linezolid resistant bugs, which are not prevalent]- (LS) |
