Product Description
Gepotidacin S enantiomer is the S enantiomer of Gepotidacin. On 11 December 2025, GSK plc (LSE/NYSE: GSK) announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a supplemental New Drug Application for gepotidacin as an oral option for adult and paediatric patients from 12 years of age weighing at least 45 kg who have limited or no alternative options for the treatment of uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhoea caused by susceptible strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (e.g., where standard of care is contraindicated, or where patients are intolerant or unwilling to use first line treatment). This milestone follows the US FDA approval of gepotidacin earlier this year as an oral treatment for female adult and paediatric patients 12 years of age and older (weighing ≥40 kg) with uncomplicated urinary tract infection (uUTI). Gonorrhoea is a common, sexually transmitted infection caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, which has been recognised by the World Health Organization as a priority pathogen and an urgent public health threat by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It affects both men and women and if left untreated or inadequately treated, it can lead to infertility and other sexual and reproductive health complications. In 2023, there were over 600,000 cases of gonorrhoea reported in the United States according to the CDC, making it the second most commonly reported sexually transmitted infection in the country. There is currently no licensed vaccine in the US for the prevention of gonorrhoea infections and the standard treatment relies on an injectable antibiotic.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Bacterial topoisomerase IV (Topo IV) and DNA gyrase (Topo II/DNA gyrase)
ln Vitro
Gepotidacin S enantiomer is a gepotidacin S enantionmer.
ln Vivo
GSK2140944's minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for the six MRSA isolates range from 0.125 to 0.5 mg/L. The range of ELF penetration ratios is 1.1 to 1.4. In neutropenic mice, maximal decreases of 1.1 to 3.1 log10 CFU have been observed. For stasis and 1-log-unit decreases, the mean fAUC/MIC ratios needed are 59.3 ± 34.6 and 148.4 ± 83.3, respectively.
Enzyme Assay
Bacterial Topo IV decatenation assay: Recombinant MRSA or N. gonorrhoeae Topo IV was purified and resuspended in assay buffer containing ATP and kinetoplast DNA (kDNA, substrate for decatenation). Serial concentrations of Gepotidacin (0.01–1 μM) were pre-incubated with the enzyme for 15 minutes at 37°C. The reaction was initiated by adding kDNA, incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C, and terminated by adding SDS-EDTA buffer. DNA products were separated by 1% agarose gel electrophoresis, stained with ethidium bromide, and visualized under UV light. The decatenation activity was quantified by densitometry, and IC50 was calculated as the concentration inhibiting 50% of Topo IV activity [2][4]
Cell Assay
MIC determination by broth microdilution: Bacterial strains (e.g., MRSA, N. gonorrhoeae, S. pneumoniae) were cultured to mid-logarithmic phase and adjusted to 5×10⁵ CFU/mL in cation-adjusted Mueller-Hinton broth (CAMHB). Gepotidacin was serially diluted (0.008–64 μg/mL) in 96-well plates, and bacterial suspension was added to each well. Plates were incubated at 35°C for 16–20 hours under aerobic conditions (5% CO₂ for fastidious organisms). The MIC was defined as the lowest drug concentration inhibiting visible bacterial growth [1][2][4]
Animal Protocol
Mice: GSK2140944 s.c. in single doses of 6.25, 50, or 200 mg/kg is given to groups of 48 infected mice at 3 h postinoculation (0 h) for neutropenic pharmacokinetic studies. Using a cardiac puncture, blood samples are taken from groups of six mice at five minutes and 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, and 4 hours after the dose for doses of 6.25 or 50 mg/kg, and at five minutes and 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, and 6 hours after the dose for 200 mg/kg[4].

Additional Infomation
Gepotidacin is a first-in-class triazaacenaphthylene antibacterial targeting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. Its target is similar to that of fluoroquinolone antibacterials - e.g. [ciprofloxacin] - while being structurally and pharmacologically distinct. By inhibiting two distinct bacterial enzymes, a lower potential for the development of resistance to gepotidacin is expected. In March 2025, gepotidacin was approved by the FDA for the treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections in select patients. In December later the same year, the FDA approved another indication for gepotidacin for the treatment of uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhea. Gepotidacin is a Triazaacenaphthylene Bacterial Type II Topoisomerase Inhibitor. The mechanism of action of gepotidacin is as a Topoisomerase 2 Inhibitor, and Topoisomerase 4 Inhibitor, and P-Glycoprotein Inhibitor, and Cytochrome P450 3A4 Inhibitor, and Cholinesterase Inhibitor.

Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
