Description

Contezolid (MRX-I), a new and orally active oxazolidinone, is an antibiotic in study for complicated skin and soft tissue infections (cSSTI) caused by resistant Gram-positive bacteria. Contezolid (MRX-I) markedly reduces potential for myelosuppression and monoamine oxidase inhibition (MAOI)[1][2].

IC50 & Target

Oxazolidinone

 

In Vitro

Contezolid (MRX-I) is highly potent against all Grampositive clinical isolates of staphylococci, streptococci, and enterococci, including MDR organisms such as MRSA, methicilline-resistant Streptococcus epidermidis (MRSE), penicillin-resistant Streptococci (PRSP), and VRE[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Oral absorption of Contezolid (MRX-I) occurrs rapidly in mouse, rat, and dog, with peak plasma concentrations observed at 0.5−2.6 h postdose. In mouse, rat, and dog, respectively, PK parameters are determined as follows: dose-normalized Cmax/dose was 524, 1065, and 259 ng/mL/(mg/kg); dose-normalized AUC0−t/dose was 1654, 3703, and 1664 ng•h/mL/(mg/kg); T1/2 is 1, 1.5, and 3 h; and the oral bioavailability is 69%, 109%, and 37%[2].
Contezolid (MRX-I) exhibits no obvious toxicity[2].
Contezolid (MRX-I, 100 mg/kg, once daily) significantly reduced the bacterial load in lungs compared to the untreated early and late controls[3].

Animal Model: BALB/c mice infected intranasally with M. tuberculosis Erdman[3].
Dosage: 100, 50 (twice), 25 (twice) mg/kg.
Administration: Gavage, once or twice daily, five days per week for four weeks.
Result: Significantly reduced the CFU recovered from the lungs compared to the early and late control mice (P < 0.05).
Twice daily MRX-I at 50mg/kg and 25 mg/kg were significantly better than the late control mice (P < 0.05).
Once daily MRX-I at 100 mg/kg was significantly better than twice daily 50 mg/kg and 25 mg/kg (P < 0.05). There was no statistical difference between twice daily 50 mg/kg of MRX-I and 25mg/kg (P > 0.05).
Animal Model: Rats[2].
Dosage: 20, 100, and 200/300 mg/kg/day.
Administration: Orally twice daily.
Result: No mortality was observed.

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (5.09 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (5.09 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
