| Targets |
ACHN-975 TFA specifically targets LpxC, a highly conserved zinc-dependent metalloamidase that catalyzes the first committed step of lipid A biosynthesis. Lipid A is an essential component of the outer membrane in Gram-negative bacteria. By inhibiting LpxC, ACHN-975 TFA disrupts the production of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), leading to bacterial cell death. This target is attractive because it is essential for bacterial survival and has no human homolog, providing a basis for selective antibacterial activity.

| ln Vitro |
ACHN-975 has an IC50 of 0.02 nM and is directed against Enterobacteriaceae[1]. MIC90 values for ACHN-975 against Enterobacter, Pa, and Ab are 1, 0.5, and >64 μg/mL, respectively [1]. With a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of less than 2 μg/ml, ACHN-975 demonstrated efficacy against all tested isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In relation to Pseudomonas aeruginosa, its MIC50 and MIC90 are, respectively, 0.06 and 0.25 μg/ml[2]. ACHN-975 targets 6 Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates, and its MIC values against Pseudomonas aeruginosa APAE1064, APAE1232 and APAE1064 isolates are 0.12, 0.06 and 0.06 μg/ml respectively [2]. The first crucial step in the manufacture of lipid A is catalyzed by LpxC, a highly conserved protein in Gram-negative bacteria. The bacterial enzyme zinc-dependent metalloamidase UDP is known as LpxC.(R)-3-hydroxymyristoyl-3-O-[Deacetylase of -N-acetylglucosamine [1].
ACHN-975 TFA exhibits subnanomolar LpxC inhibitory activity with an IC50 of 0.02 nM against Enterobacteriaceae spp. It demonstrates potent antibacterial activity with low minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values (≤1 microg/mL) against a broad range of Gram-negative bacteria. Against Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates, ACHN-975 TFA shows MIC50 and MIC90 values of 0.06 and 0.25 microg/mL, respectively. It inhibits 100% of tested P. aeruginosa isolates at an MIC of ≤2 microg/mL, with specific MIC values of 0.12, 0.06, and 0.06 microg/mL against various strains. |
| ln Vivo |
In all dosage groups, ACHN-975 TFA (ip; 5-30 mg/kg; single dose) caused a consistent drop in bacterial titers throughout the first four hours of therapy. The results of the sampling indicated that, two hours after treatment with the 10 mg/kg dose and four hours after treatment with the 30 mg/kg dose, the free drug levels in this model fell below the ACHN-975 MIC (0.25 μg/ml) for this isolate[2].
In a neutropenic mouse thigh infection model with P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853, ACHN-975 TFA (intraperitoneal administration at 5-30 mg/kg single dose) produces a steady reduction in bacterial titers during the first four hours following treatment. However, free drug levels drop below the MIC for the isolate within 2 hours at the 10 mg/kg dose and by 4 hours at the 30 mg/kg dose, suggesting relatively rapid clearance. Despite this, the compound demonstrates significant in vivo antibacterial efficacy. |
| Enzyme Assay |
For in vitro LpxC enzyme inhibition assays, recombinant LpxC protein is incubated with the substrate UDP-3-O-(R-3-hydroxymyristoyl)-GlcNAc in assay buffer (50 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 0.01% Triton X-100, and 2 mM DTT). Varying concentrations of ACHN-975 TFA are added, and the reaction is allowed to proceed for 1 hour. The released free amine is then quantified using a fluorescence-based detection reagent such as fluorescamine, and the IC50 is calculated from the inhibition curve.
|
| Cell Assay |
Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assays are performed using the broth microdilution method according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines. Gram-negative bacterial strains including E. coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii are cultured in cation-adjusted Mueller-Hinton broth (CAMHB). Bacteria are inoculated at approximately 5×10⁵ CFU/mL and incubated with serial two-fold dilutions of ACHN-975 TFA at 35degC for 18-20 hours. The MIC is defined as the lowest concentration that visibly inhibits bacterial growth.

| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853[2] Neutropenic mouse thigh model
Doses: 5-30 mg/kg Route of Administration: intraperitonealadministration; single dose Experimental Results: bactericidal activity, anti-aeruginosa in vivo Pseudomonas sp. ATCC27853 strain. In vivo antibacterial efficacy is evaluated using a neutropenic mouse thigh infection model. Female ICR mice are rendered neutropenic by cyclophosphamide injections (150 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg on days -4 and -1). On day 0, mice are inoculated intramuscularly with P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853 (approximately 10⁶-10⁷ CFU/thigh). Two hours post-inoculation, ACHN-975 TFA is administered intraperitoneally at doses of 5, 10, or 30 mg/kg. After 24 hours, thigh muscles are harvested, homogenized, and plated for bacterial colony counting. |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic studies in mouse models reveal that ACHN-975 TFA is rapidly cleared following intraperitoneal administration, with free drug levels dropping below the MIC within 2-4 hours. This relatively short half-life represents a challenge for sustained antibacterial coverage. The compound likely undergoes rapid metabolism and/or renal elimination. Detailed PK parameters such as plasma half-life, volume of distribution, and oral bioavailability have not been fully disclosed but warrant further optimization.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Dedicated toxicology studies specifically for ACHN-975 TFA are not publicly available as the compound remains in preclinical research stages. However, as an inhibitor of LpxC, a bacterial-specific enzyme absent in mammals, the compound is expected to have a favorable selectivity profile with low off-target toxicity in eukaryotic cells. Acute tolerability in animal models has been reported at doses up to 30 mg/kg intraperitoneally. Formal GLP toxicity studies have not been published.

| Additional Infomation |
ACHN-975 TFA is a research-grade LpxC inhibitor used to study Gram-negative bacterial pathogenesis and to validate LpxC as a target for novel antibiotic development. The compound has not yet been approved for clinical use. Its subnanomolar enzyme inhibitory activity and broad-spectrum coverage make it a valuable lead for antibacterial drug discovery programs focused on multidrug-resistant Gram-negative infections, including those caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae.
