RESUMO

The spectinamides are novel, narrow-spectrum semisynthetic analogs of spectinomycin, modified to avoid intrinsic efflux by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Spectinamides, including lead MBX-4888A (Lee-1810), exhibit promising therapeutic profiles in mice, as single drugs and as partner agents with other anti-tuberculosis antibiotics including rifampin and/or pyrazinamide. Here, we show that MBX-4888A, given by injection with the front-line standard of care regimen, is treatment shortening in multiple murine tuberculosis infection models. The positive treatment responses to MBX-4888A combination therapy in multiple mouse models, including mice exhibiting advanced pulmonary disease, can be attributed to favorable distribution in tissues and lesions, retention in caseum, along with favorable effects with rifampin and pyrazinamide under conditions achieved in necrotic lesions. This study also provides an additional data point regarding the safety and tolerability of spectinamide MBX-4888A in long-term murine efficacy studies.

RESUMO

BTZ-043, a suicide inhibitor of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis cell wall synthesis decaprenylphosphoryl-beta-D-ribose 2' epimerase, is under clinical development as a potential new anti-tuberculosis agent. BTZ-043 is potent and bactericidal in vitro but has limited activity against non-growing bacilli in rabbit caseum. To better understand its behavior in vivo, BTZ-043 was evaluated for efficacy and spatial drug distribution as a single agent in the C3HeB/FeJ mouse model presenting with caseous necrotic pulmonary lesions upon Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. BTZ-043 promoted significant reductions in lung and spleen bacterial burdens in the C3HeB/FeJ mouse model after 2 months of therapy. BTZ-043 penetrates cellular and necrotic lesions and was retained at levels above the serum-shifted minimal inhibitory concentration in caseum. The calculated rate of kill was found to be highest and dose-dependent during the second month of treatment. BTZ-043 treatment was associated with improved histology scores of pulmonary lesions, especially compared to control mice, which experienced advanced fulminant neutrophilic alveolitis in the absence of treatment. These positive treatment responses to BTZ-043 monotherapy in a mouse model of advanced pulmonary disease can be attributed to favorable distribution in tissues and lesions, retention in the caseum, and its high potency and bactericidal nature at drug concentrations achieved in necrotic lesions.

RESUMO

The spectinamides are novel, narrow-spectrum semisynthetic analogs of spectinomycin, modified to avoid intrinsic efflux by Mycobacterium tuberculosis . Spectinamides, including lead MBX-4888A (Lee-1810), exhibit promising therapeutic profiles in mice, as single drugs and as partner agents with other anti-tuberculosis antibiotics including rifampin and/or pyrazinamide. To demonstrate that this translates to more effective cure, we first confirmed the role of rifampin, with or without pyrazinamide, as essential to achieve effective bactericidal responses and sterilizing cure in the current standard of care regimen in chronically infected C3HeB/FeJ mice compared to BALB/c mice. Thus, demonstrating added value in testing clinically relevant regimens in murine models of increasing pathologic complexity. Next we show that MBX-4888A, given by injection with the front-line standard of care regimen, is treatment shortening in multiple murine tuberculosis infection models. The positive treatment responses to MBX-4888A combination therapy in multiple mouse models including mice exhibiting advanced pulmonary disease can be attributed to favorable distribution in tissues and lesions, retention in caseum, along with favorable effects with rifampin and pyrazinamide under conditions achieved in necrotic lesions. This study also provides an additional data point regarding the safety and tolerability of spectinamide MBX-4888A in long-term murine efficacy studies.
