Let’s start with pharmacokinetics ! Yes, but CELLULARPK ! Munich subway, ECCMID 2007 ISAP
Aim of the study • to investigate the cellular pharmacokinetics of radezolid • to decipher the mechanisms of its cellular accumulation • in comparison with linezolid and azithromycin Oxazolidinone - low accumulation - cellular conc. ~ extracell. conc. Macrolide - dicationic amphiphile - high accumulation by diffusion-segregation in acidic compartments ISAP
General methodology: cellular accumulation scintillation counting drug cell prot. (Lowry) microbiological assay (B. subtilis) accumulation calculated considering a cell volume of 5 µl/mg prot. • cells incubated with linezolid or 14C-radezolid • washed in PBS and collected by low-speed centrifugation • resuspended in water ISAP

Cellular pharmacodynamics Does accumulation translate in activity ? Madison, Craig’s symposium 2008 ISAP
General methodology: intracellular activity • cells infected by pre-opsonized bacteria • extracellular bacteria eliminated by short incubation with gentamicin • incubation with increasing concentrations of antibiotics for 24/48 h • washings • resuspended in water cell prot. (Lowry) plating and CFU counting activity expressed as change from initial inoculum Barcia-Macay et al., Antimicrob. Ag. Chemother. (2006) 50:841-51 ISAP

Further analysis for S. aureus • at neutral pH, radezolid is ~equipotent against the LZD-R strain ISAP
Further analysis for S. aureus • at neutral pH, radezolid is ~equipotent against the LZD-R strain • at acidic pH, radezolid activity is reduced ISAP
Intracellular activity (clinically-relevant comparison) • Radezolid is • more potent and effective than LZD • as potent and effective against both strains ISAP
Intracellular activity (equipotent concentrations) • RDZ and LZD ~ equipotent against the LZD-S strain • RDZ~ equipotent against both strains ISAP
Intracellular activity (x MIC pH 5.5) • Radezolid is active at lower • multiples of the MIC assumed • in the infected compartment ISAP
Intracellular activity (pharmacological comparison) • cellular accumulation of RDZ compensates for the effect • of acid pH on activity ISAP
Comparison for strains of clinical interest (MRSA and VISA) Cstatic : 2.75 mg/L ~ 1.4 x MIC Cstatic : 0.37 mg/L ~ 0.7 x MIC difference in potency maintained ISAP
Conclusions • oxazolidinones ~ macrolides regarding mechanism of accumulation/distribution • accumulation level depends on basic character • dual distribution cytosol/lysosomes for radezolid • oxazolidinones show intracellular activity in all subcellular compartments examined • lower MICs translate in improved potency • accumulation may conpensate for defeating effect of intracellular milieu on activity ISAP – post ICAAC 2007 & 2008 • what is the cellular bioavailability of antibiotics ? • how do antibiotics express their activity inside the cells ?
