| Targets |
Nilofabicin targets FabI (enoyl-ACP reductase), an essential enzyme in the bacterial fatty acid synthesis (FAS II) pathway. FabI catalyzes the final step of each elongation cycle in fatty acid biosynthesis, reducing enoyl-ACP to acyl-ACP. Inhibition of FabI disrupts bacterial cell membrane synthesis, leading to bactericidal activity. Nilofabicin is selective for bacterial FabI and has no significant activity against mammalian fatty acid synthase.

| ln Vitro |
In vitro, nilofabicin demonstrates potent antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus with an MIC₉₀ of 0.5 μg/mL. It is more effective than linezolid or vancomycin against S. aureus strains. The compound is soluble in DMSO at 100 mg/mL (293.74 mM). It is a solid, white to off-white in color. Specific EC₅₀ values and activity against other bacterial species are documented in the literature.
|
| ln Vivo |
Nilofabicin has been evaluated in clinical trials for the treatment of skin infections. In vivo efficacy has been demonstrated in animal models of bacterial infection. The compound's potent activity against S. aureus, including methicillin-resistant strains, makes it a promising candidate for treating complicated acute bacterial infections. Further clinical development would be required to establish its full therapeutic potential.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
FabI enzyme inhibition assays are performed using purified enoyl-ACP reductase enzyme and appropriate substrates. Enzyme activity is measured spectrophotometrically by monitoring the oxidation of NADH or NADPH. Nilofabicin is tested at various concentrations, and IC₅₀ values are calculated from dose-response curves. The compound's binding affinity for FabI can be determined using surface plasmon resonance or isothermal titration calorimetry.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro antibacterial susceptibility testing is performed using broth microdilution or agar dilution methods following CLSI guidelines. S. aureus strains are cultured in Mueller-Hinton broth at 35°C. Nilofabicin is tested at serial two-fold dilutions, and MIC values are determined after 18-24 hours of incubation. The compound is dissolved in DMSO for stock solutions and diluted in culture media. MTT assays may be used to assess bacterial viability.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo efficacy is evaluated in murine models of S. aureus infection, including skin and soft tissue infection models. Nilofabicin is administered intraperitoneally or orally at various doses. Endpoints include survival rates, bacterial load in tissues (CFU counts), and histopathological assessment of infection sites. Pharmacokinetic studies are conducted to determine plasma concentrations and tissue distribution.

Specific pharmacokinetic parameters are documented in the literature from clinical and preclinical studies.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Specific toxicity data for nilofabicin are documented in preclinical and clinical studies. As an antibacterial agent, its safety profile has been evaluated in clinical trials for skin infections. Common adverse effects associated with FabI inhibitors may include gastrointestinal disturbances and injection site reactions. Further toxicity characterization would be required for full clinical development. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling this compound.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
