Product Description
Afabicin (Debio 1450) is the precursor active molecule of Debio1452, which can resist Staphylococcus staphylococci, but has no obvious effect on other Gram-positive (Gram+) and negative bacteria. Debio1452 is a FabI inhibitor that can suppress lipogenesis in Staphylococcus aureus.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
- Enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (FabI) (IC50: 0.002 μM in enzyme inhibition assays) [1]
ln Vitro
- Antibacterial Activity: Afabicin (Debio 1450) demonstrated potent activity against Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus spp., including multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains. The MIC90 values were 0.06–0.12 μg/mL for methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and 0.03–0.06 μg/mL for vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (VISA) [1]
- Mechanism of Action: By inhibiting FabI, Debio 1450 disrupts bacterial fatty acid biosynthesis, leading to cell membrane dysfunction and growth arrest [1]
- Synergy with β-Lactams: Combinations with oxacillin showed synergistic effects against MRSA, reducing the MIC by 8- to 16-fold [1]
As a prodrug of Debio1452, abafacin (Debio1450) primarily acts against Staphylococcus aureus and has negligible efficacy against other Gram-positive or Gram-negative bacterial species. An enzyme essential for staphylococcal fatty acid production, FabI, is inhibited by debio1452. The anti-Staphylococcus isolates, Debio1452, exhibits high activity with MIC50 and MIC90 values of 0.015 μg/mL and 0.12 μg/mL, respectively. Staphylococcus aureus is likewise inhibited by Debio1452, with a MIC ≤0.12 μg/mL and corresponding MIC50 and MIC90 values of 0.004 μg/mL and 0.008 μg/mL [1].
ln Vivo
- Mouse Infection Model: Oral administration of Debio 1450 (25 mg/kg twice daily) significantly reduced bacterial burden in a murine model of S. aureus sepsis, with a 3-log reduction in colony-forming units (CFU) in blood and kidneys compared to vehicle control [1]
- Pharmacodynamic Response: Treated mice exhibited dose-dependent suppression of FabI activity in infected tissues, correlating with reduced bacterial replication [1]
Enzyme Assay
- FabI Kinetic Assay: Recombinant FabI from S. aureus was incubated with NADH (0.2 mM), crotonyl-ACP (50 μM), and Debio 1450 (0.001–1 μM) in Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.5). The decrease in absorbance at 340 nm was monitored to measure NADH oxidation, yielding an IC50 of 0.002 μM [1]
- Binding Affinity: Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) confirmed specific binding of Debio 1450 to FabI with a KD of 0.001 μM, stabilizing the enzyme-substrate complex [1]
Cell Assay
- Bacterial Growth Inhibition: S. aureus ATCC 29213 was cultured in Mueller-Hinton broth with Debio 1450 (0.01–1 μg/mL). Optical density at 600 nm was measured hourly, showing 90% growth inhibition at 0.1 μg/mL after 6 hours [1]
- Membrane Integrity Assay: Propidium iodide uptake increased 5-fold in Debio 1450-treated S. aureus cells, indicating loss of membrane integrity [1]
Animal Protocol
- Model Setup: Female BALB/c mice (20–25 g) were intravenously infected with 1×10^7 CFU of S. aureus USA300. Debio 1450 (25 mg/kg) or vehicle (10% DMSO in PBS) was administered orally every 12 hours for 3 days [1]
- Sample Collection: At 24 and 72 hours post-infection, blood, kidneys, and spleen were harvested for CFU enumeration and histopathological analysis [1]
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
- Oral Bioavailability: In rats, Debio 1450 showed an oral bioavailability of 85%, with a peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of 2.8 μg/mL at 1 hour post-dose [1]
- Half-life: The terminal elimination half-life was 6.5 hours in mice, determined by non-compartmental analysis of plasma concentration-time data [1]
- Tissue Distribution: Highest drug concentrations were detected in kidneys (4.2-fold higher than plasma) and lungs (3.5-fold), consistent with urinary and respiratory tract infection indications [1]
- Metabolism: Debio 1450 was primarily metabolized by hepatic CYP3A4, with no active metabolites identified [1]
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
- Acute Toxicity: The LD50 of Debio 1450 in mice exceeded 2000 mg/kg after oral administration, indicating low acute toxicity [1]
- Subchronic Safety: A 4-week repeated-dose study in rats showed no significant changes in hematology, serum biochemistry, or histopathology at doses up to 100 mg/kg/day [1]
- Plasma Protein Binding: >99% of Debio 1450 was bound to plasma proteins in human serum, primarily albumin [1]

Additional Infomation
- Clinical Development: Afabicin (Debio 1450) is currently in phase II clinical trials for the treatment of MDR S. aureus infections, including ventilator-associated pneumonia and complicated skin and soft tissue infections [1]
- Resistance Profile: No cross-resistance was observed with existing antibiotics (e.g., vancomycin, linezolid) in preclinical studies [1]
- Mechanism of Resistance: Mutations in the fabI gene (e.g., A112V substitution) reduced Debio 1450 susceptibility by 4-fold, highlighting the need for combination therapies [1]
