In Vitro and In Vivo Activities of DS-2969b, a Novel GyrB Inhibitor, against Clostridium difficile

Abstract: DS-2969b is a novel GyrB inhibitor that is currently under clinical development for the treatment of infection (CDI). In this study, the and activities of DS-2969b were evaluated. DS-2969b inhibited the supercoiling activity of DNA gyrase. DS-2969b showed potent activity against clinical isolates with a MIC of 0.06 μg/ml, which was 2-, 32-, and 16-fold lower than the MICs of fidaxomicin, vancomycin, and metronidazole, respectively. DS-2969b did not select spontaneously resistant mutants of various strains at 4… Show more

“…Our understanding of the human microbiome in health and disease has significantly expanded owing to the establishment of the 16S rRNA gene sequencing of the microbial genomes. The technology has propelled research on microbiome composition and function, as well as it allowed us to understand the effect of various factors in modifying the microbiome composition [39][40][41][42][43].…”

“…DS-2969b showed in vitro activity against a variety of C. difficile clinical isolates, with an MIC 90 of 0.06 g/ml, which was 2-, 16-, and 32-fold lower than those of fidaxomicin, metronidazole, and vancomycin, respectively (13). DS-2969b demonstrated dose-dependent efficacy in a hamster model of NAP1/027 infection, which was superior to vancomycin or fidaxomicin (13). DS-2969b was safe and well tolerated in preclinical toxicology studies (14).…”

“…DS-2969b has highly specific antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria, including strict and facultative anaerobes. The activity of DS-2969b was limited to Gram-positive bacteria, with low activity against Gram-negative organisms in the intestinal microbiota (13). DS-2969b showed in vitro activity against a variety of C. difficile clinical isolates, with an MIC 90 of 0.06 g/ml, which was 2-, 16-, and 32-fold lower than those of fidaxomicin, metronidazole, and vancomycin, respectively (13).…”
