ABSTRACT
Spectinamides are a novel class of narrow-spectrum antitubercular agents with the potential to treat drug-resistant tuberculosis infections. Spectinamide 1810 has shown a good safety record following subcutaneous injection in mice or infusion in rats but exhibits transient acute toxicity following bolus administration in either species. To improve the therapeutic index of 1810, an injectable prodrug strategy was explored. The injectable phosphate prodrug 3408 has a superior maximum tolerated dose compared to 1810 or Gentamicin. Following intravenous administration in rodents, prodrug 3408 was quickly converted to 1810. The resulting 1810 exposure and pharmacokinetic profile after 3408 administration was identical to equivalent molar amounts of 1810 given directly by intravenous administration. 3408 and the parent 1810 exhibited similar overall efficacy in a BALB/c acute tuberculosis efficacy model. Delivery of 1810 in phosphate prodrug form, therefore, holds the potential to improve further the therapeutic index of an already promising tuberculosis antibiotic.
