Background and overview | dirithromycin is a second-generation erythromycin macrocyclic (fourteen-membered) lactone, by 2-methoxyethoxyacetaldehyde and erythromycylamine in C9, C11 synthesis of oxazine ring and the formation of similar structure and erythromycin. In vivo non-enzymatic hydrolysis to the red mold cyclic Amine, by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit of sensitive pathogenic microorganisms to hinder the bacterial peptide transfer process, inhibiting protein synthesis and antibacterial. compared with erythromycin and other new macrolide antibiotics, the drug has the following characteristics:(1) Antibacterial effect: in addition to retaining the antibacterial effect of dirithromycin on G 10 bacteria, on a variety of G bacteria, anaerobic bacteria and other pathogens, such as Mycoplasma, chlamydia and spirochetes still have a strong antibacterial effect. The antibacterial effect of dirithromycin on Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis was stronger or equivalent to that of erythromycin. (2) Pharmacokinetics: compared with other macrocyclic antibiotics, the half-life of dirithromycin is longer, the plasma elimination of tl/2 is greater than 24h, and the tissue permeability is strong, can be administered once a day. Therefore, in the market, it will also be different from other antibiotics to show the characteristics of competitive. The product of U. S. Poly Company was listed in Spain in September 1993. It was approved by FDA in 1996 and listed in U. S. Pharmacopeia USP 23, and was listed in China in 2005. At present, there are a number of domestic research and development of the Erythromycin Enteric-coated Tablets and enteric capsules approved for production and clinical use. |
synthesis | Route 1: erythromycin hydrazone (2) was prepared by reacting erythromycin with hydrazine hydrate, erythromycin amine (3) was synthesized with erythromycin hydrazone, and dirithromycin (1) was finally synthesized with 2-methoxyethoxyacetaldehyde (5), as shown in the figure: Route 2: erythromycin is reacted with hydroxylamine hydrochloride to obtain erythromycin oxime, which is reduced to erythromycin amine and then reacted with 2-(2-methoxyethoxy) dirithromycin (DRM) is formed by condensation of acetaldehyde glycol acetal. The specific reaction route is as follows: |
pharmacological action | dirithromycin has an antibacterial spectrum similar to erythromycin. It has a strong inhibitory effect on chlamydia and Mycoplasma. For most Gram-positive bacilli, the activity of dirithromycin is 2~4 times lower than that of erythromycin. To Bordetella pertussis, the activity of dirithromycin was 4 times stronger than that of erythromycin. The in vitro anti-staphylococcal activity of dirithromycin is similar to or less than that of erythromycin. Dirithromycin in less than or equal to 0.03~0.12g/ml can inhibit Streptococcus pyogenes, Pneumonia Streptococcus. Group B streptococci were also inhibited at the same concentration. Pneumonia Streptococcus and Listeria were inhibited at 0.12 μg/ml and 0.5 μg/ml, respectively. Group A Streptococcus, Listeria, and Enterococcus, which are resistant to antibiotics, are also resistant to dirithromycin. The erythromycin-sensitive and drug-resistant staphylococci MIC90 was 0.5 μg/ml and 8 μg/ml. Dirithromycin did not inhibit aerobic Gram-positive bacteria. In general, dirithromycin is 2-4 times more active than erythromycin. The activity of dirithromycin against Staphylococci and streptococci is not reduced by the addition of human serum. This class of macrolides is 1 to 4 times more active at pH 8.0 than at pH 6.0. Dirithromycin has bacteriostatic action on Staphylococcus aureus and slow bactericidal action on Haemophilus influenzae. Dirithromycin is resistant to enterococci and most methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and has a close cross-resistance relationship with other macrolides. Figure 1 is the structural formula of dirithromycin |
pharmacokinetics | absorption: after oral administration, conversion to the biologically active substance erythromycylamine by non-enzymatic hydrolysis has an absolute bioavailability of about 10%. Healthy volunteers (19-59 years, single dose: 500mg; Multiple doses: 500mg/day, 10 days). Distribution: erythromycylamine is rapidly and widely distributed into tissues, and its intracellular concentration is higher than the tissue concentration, while the tissue concentration is significantly higher than the plasma concentration. The protein binding rate was 15-30%, and the average apparent volume of distribution (VDSS) was 800L(540-1041L). Metabolism and excretion of the steady-state tissue concentration of erythromycylamine (500mg/time once a day): erythromycylamine is almost not metabolized by the liver, 81-97% of the drug is eliminated by the biliary pathway, about 2% of the drug is eliminated by the kidneys. In patients with normal renal function, the average plasma half-life is about 8 hours, the average elimination half-life is about 44 hours, and the average apparent clearance is about 23L/h. Effects of food: the product can be taken with food or within 1 hour after a meal. The study showed a 33% decrease in Cmax and a 31% decrease in AUC 1 hour before meals. The level of fat in food has little effect on bioavailability. |
clinical evaluation | 3299 patients received oral administration of the drug (0.5g/day) for 7-14 days, no toxicity-related death or disability was found. Eighty-seven patients (2.6%) discontinued medication due to adverse reactions, of which 35 (40%) were due to discontinuation Nausea and Abdominal Pain. Another clinical trial (oral administration of the drug 0.5g/day, 5 days of treatment) showed that 35 patients (3.8%) due to adverse reactions to medication, of which 15 cases (43%) it was due to drug discontinuation in Nausea and Abdominal Pain. The adverse reactions related to the drug treatment were as follows: Head Pain (7.7%), Abdominal Pain (7.1%), Diarrhea (6.7%), Nausea (5.9%), dyspepsia (2.6%), dizziness/dizziness (2.1%), rash (1.4%), Vomit (1.1%). Platelet count increased (3.8%), potassium increased (2.6%), bicarbonate decreased (1.4%), CPK increased (1.2%), eosinophils increased (1.2%), neutrophils increased (1.2%), leukocytosis (0.8%), etc. |

When it is necessary to maintain a high plasma concentration of theophylline, the plasma concentration should be detected and the dose should be adjusted. antacids or H2 receptor antagonists: After taking antacids or H2 receptor antagonists, taking this product immediately can increase the absorption of dirithromycin. The interaction between erythromycin and the following drugs is clear, but the interaction with dirithromycin is not clear, therefore, the combination should be careful. triazolam: can reduce the clearance of triazolam, increase its pharmacological effects. digoxin: can increase the blood concentration of digoxin. Anticoagulants: can increase the role of anticoagulants, especially in the elderly. ergotamine: produces toxic symptoms such as peripheral vasospasm and dysesthesia. other drugs: interactions between erythromycin and the following drugs have been reported, such as: cyclosporine, cyclohexobarbital, carbamazepine, alfentanil, probamide, phenytoin, bromocriptin. Valproate, asimazole, lovastatin. |
precautions | hepatic insufficiency: In patients with mild hepatic impairment, the mean Cmax. The AUC and volume of distribution increased slightly with increasing doses, but dose adjustment was not necessary. Renal insufficiency: the mean Cmax.AUC tends to increase with a decrease in creatinine clearance, but dose adjustment is not necessary in patients with renal impairment (including dialysis). Pseudomembranous colitis has been reported to occur with virtually all broad-spectrum antibiotic agents, including dirithromycin. Therefore, it is important to take this diagnosis into account if Diarrhea of patients using antibiotics occur. The degree of this colitis varies from mild to life-threatening. For mild cases of pseudomembranous colitis, it is usually effective simply by stopping the drug. For moderate to severe cases, appropriate treatment should be taken. |
