Lefamulin (BC-3781) acetate is an orally active antibiotic. Lefamulin acetate inhibits protein synthesis by binding to the peptidyl transferase center of the 50S bacterial ribosome. Lefamulin acetate has anti-inflammatory activity. Lefamulin acetate can be used in the research of bacterial infections, such as bacterial pneumonia.
Lefamulin (0-1 mg/L) acetate shows inhibitory activity against C. trachomatis, N. gonorrhoeae, and M. genitalium[2]. Lefamulin acetate shows potent activity against all M. pneumoniae strains with MIC values of ≤0.008 μg/mL[3].
Lefamulin (10-140 mg/kg, s.c.) acetate shows anti-inflammatory effect on LPS-induced lung neutrophilia mouse model[4]. Lefamulin (1.25-160 mg/kg, s.c.) acetate shows antibacterial effect in S. pneumoniae or S. aureus challenged lung infection mice[5].
