Tedizolid, sold under the brand name Sivextro, is an antibiotic used for skin and skin structure infection including cellulitis and skin abscesses.[2][1] This includes cases due to meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).[1] It can be given by mouth or by gradual injection into a vein.[2]

Common side effects include nausea, headache, diarrhea, and vomiting.[1] Other side effects may include Clostridioides difficile infection.[2] Safety in pregnancy and breastfeeding is unclear.[2] It is in the oxazolidinone class of medications and works by blocking bacteria from making protein.[1]

Tedizolid was approved for medical use in the United States in 2014 and Canada and Europe in 2015.[1][2][4] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines as an alternative to linezolid.[5] In the United States a 6 day course of treatment costs about 2,300 USD as of 2021.[6] This amount in the United Kingdom costs the NHS about £862.[7]

Medical uses

Tedizolid is used for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) caused by certain susceptible bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus (including methicillin-resistant strains, MRSA, and methicillin-susceptible strains), various Streptococcus species (S. pyogenes, S. agalactiae, and S. anginosus group including S. anginosus, S. intermedius, and S. constellatus), and Enterococcus faecalis.[8][9][10][3][1]

Dosage

The recommended dosage for treatment is 200 mg once daily for a total duration of six days, either by mouth (with or without food) or through an intravenous injection (if patient is older than 18 years old).[3]

Side effects

The most common side effects found in the clinical trials were nausea, headache, diarrhea, vomiting, and dizziness.[3] Tedizolid has also been found to have hematologic (blood) effects, as shown in Phase-I studies in which subjects exposed to doses longer than 6 days showed a possible dose and duration effect on hematologic parameters.[3] Its safety in patients with decreased levels of white blood cells has not been established.[10] Patients on tedizolid are also at low risk of peripheral and optic neuropathy, similar to other members of the oxazolidinone class.[3]

Mechanism of action

Tedizolid phosphate (TR-701) is a prodrug activated by plasma or intestinal phosphatases to tedizolid (TR-700) following administration of the drug either orally or intravenously.[3][11] Once activated, tedizolid exerts its bacteriostatic microbial activity through inhibition of protein synthesis by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit (on the acceptor site) of the bacteria.[3]

Tedizolid phosphate

Chemistry

Tedizolid is a second-generation oxazolidinone derivative that is 4-to-16-fold more potent against staphylococci and enterococci compared to linezolid.[12]

History

Tedizolid phosphate is a phosphate ester prodrug of the active compound tedizolid. It was developed by Cubist Pharmaceuticals, following acquisition of Trius Therapeutics (originator: Dong-A Pharmaceuticals).[13]

Tedizolid is the second treatment approved by the FDA under the new federal law Generating Antibiotic Incentives Now (known as the GAIN Act).[14][15] New antibiotics manufactured under this new act will be designed as a Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP), allowing an expedited review by the FDA and an additional five years of market exclusivity.[15]

Research

Tedizolid showed noninferiority to linezolid in two phase-III trials, known as the ESTABLISH trials.[16]
