Abstract

Increased resistance to gram positive infections have highlighted the limitations of currently available drug treatments including penicillins, macrolides and glycopeptides. As an alternative to address these challenges; Linezolid, the first antibiotic from oxazolidinone class, have shown the promising activities against such infections, although associated toxicological issues limiting the use of linezolid for prolonged treatments. In order to circumvent disadvantages allied with the marketed drugs, we herein reporting the synthesis of WCK 4034, an oxazolidinone antibiotic through our structure activity relationship (SAR) program. Through this exercise, WCK 4034, has shown competitive MIC values against Methicillin Sensitive S. aureus (MSSA, Sta-001), Methicillin Resistant S. aureus (MRSA, Sta-032), S. pneumoniae ATCC 49619 and H. influenza ATCC 35054 species as like linezolid. Although with an additional advantage; WCK 4034 has been found superior during dog PK studies as compare to Linezolid. With the preliminary studies in our hand, we herein assuming these improved pharmacokinetic values would be helpful. Moreover, WCK 4034 has successfully completed pre-clinical studies and ready to enter the clinical space, and paved the way for in house development of other oxazolidinone NCEs.
