Contezolid in complicated skin and soft tissue infection.
Drugs of Today 2022 July
Contezolid (MRX-I, Youxitai) is an oral oxazolidinone drug being developed by MicuRx Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China. It was approved by China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) in June 2021, attaining its first approval for the treatment of complicated skin and soft tissue infections (cSSTIs). It is also under clinical development for acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSIs) in the U.S. after receiving qualified infectious disease product (QIDP) classification and fast track status by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in September 2018. Contezolid is effective against a broad range of Gram-positive bacteria including activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae and vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE). It provides a major benefit over the most popular drug of its class, linezolid (Zyvox), by offering an improved safety profile and minimal effects concerning myelosuppression and monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibition, two independent adverse events limiting linezolid use in the clinic. The recommended dosage regimen of contezolid is 800 mg every 12 hours for 7-14 days with regular food intake and it can be extended if required. At the mentioned dose under fed conditions, satisfactory efficacy against MRSA with a 90%; or higher cumulative fraction of response and probability of target attainment was achieved. Additionally, contezolid also exhibits activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium abscessus .
