Structure-Activity Relationship of the Aminomethylcyclines and the Discovery of Omadacycline

Abstract: A series of novel tetracycline derivatives were synthesized with the goal of creating new antibiotics that would be unaffected by the known tetracycline resistance mechanisms. New C-9-position derivatives of minocycline (the aminomethylcyclines [AMCs]) were tested for in vitro activity against Gram-positive strains containing known tetracycline resistance mechanisms of ribosomal protection (Tet M in Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, and Streptococcus pneumoniae) and efflux (Tet K in S. aureus and T… Show more

“…Similar to the older tetracyclines (doxycycline, minocycline, and tetracycline), omadacycline binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit of target GPC and GNB with resultant inhibition of protein synthesis (7,9,12). Notably, omadacycline remains active against ribosomal protection and efflux tetracycline resistance genes (8, 9, 13).…”

“…Genes encoding for efflux pumps and ribosomal protection proteins have been described in both GPC and GNB and confer resistance to tetracycline, doxycycline, and minocycline (7-10). Chemical modification of minocycline has led to the development of tigecycline, a glycylcycline (11), and omadacycline, an aminomethylcycline (9), both of which specifically overcome tetracycline resistance mechanisms and are not affected by resistance to other classes of antibiotics (8,9,11).…”
