| Targets |
Fusidic acid sodium salt targets bacterial protein synthesis by inhibiting the release of translation elongation factor G (EF-G) from ribosomes. By preventing the displacement of mRNA, it blocks protein synthesis, leading to bactericidal effects. It is active against the Gram-positive bacteria S. aureus, S. pyogenes, C. diphtheriae, and B. subtilis.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, Fusidic acid sodium salt exhibits potent antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant strains (MRSA). It inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by preventing the release of EF-G from ribosomes. Its MIC values vary depending on the bacterial strain, with potent activity against staphylococci regardless of methicillin resistance.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, Fusidic acid sodium salt is an orally available antibacterial agent used primarily for treating bacterial infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus. It is often used topically in dermatological treatments for skin infections. It is well absorbed orally and has good tissue penetration. Its bactericidal effect is achieved by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro antibacterial susceptibility testing for Fusidic acid sodium salt is conducted using broth microdilution or agar dilution methods following CLSI guidelines. Bacterial strains (e.g., S. aureus, S. pyogenes) are cultured in appropriate media and incubated with serial dilutions of the compound. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is determined as the lowest concentration that inhibits visible bacterial growth.
|
| Cell Assay |
Fusidic acid sodium salt is not typically used in mammalian cell-based assays, as it targets bacterial ribosomes. Cytotoxicity assays may be conducted in mammalian cell lines to assess potential toxicity.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies for Fusidic acid sodium salt are conducted in rodent models of bacterial infection, particularly those caused by S. aureus. The compound is administered orally or topically. Endpoints include survival, bacterial load in tissues, and histopathological evaluation of infected organs.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Fusidic acid sodium salt is well absorbed following oral administration. It has a molecular weight of 538.69 and a molecular formula of C₃₁H₄₇NaO₆. It is distributed to various tissues, including skin and soft tissues. It is metabolized in the liver and excreted primarily in the bile. Its half-life is approximately 5-10 hours.

| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Effects During Pregnancy and Lactation
◉ Overview of Use During Lactation Fusidic acid has not yet received marketing approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but topical and systemic formulations are available in other countries. Data on fusidic acid excretion in breast milk is outdated and not from rigorously designed studies, but the concentration of the drug in breast milk appears to be low after intravenous fusidic acid administration. When using topical products, ensure that the infant's skin does not come into direct contact with the treated area. Water-soluble creams or gels should only be applied to the breasts, as ointments may expose the infant to high concentrations of mineral oil through licking. Topical application of fusidic acid appears to be relatively ineffective for treating nipple pain and cracking. ◉ Effects on Breastfed Infants As of the revision date, no published information was found. ◉ Effects on Lactation and Breast Milk A small, randomized, non-blinded trial of mothers with nipple pain and cracking showed that applying fusidic acid ointment to the nipples after each breastfeeding session was far less effective than oral antibiotics (cloxacillin or erythromycin, for a 10-day course) (36% vs 79%). Furthermore, 43% of patients did not experience symptom improvement after using fusidic acid, compared to only 16% in the oral antibiotic group; 21% of patients experienced a worsening of their condition after using fusidic acid, compared to only 5% in the oral antibiotic group. Fusidic acid sodium salt is generally well-tolerated. Common side effects include gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Liver function abnormalities may occur with prolonged use. It is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to fusidic acid. |

| Additional Infomation |
Fusidate Sodium is the sodium salt of fusidic acid, an antibacterial antibiotic extracted from the fungus Fusidium coccineum, used as a topical medication for treating skin infections. It is an antibiotic isolated from the fermentation broth of Fusidium. (From Merck Index, 11th edition). Its mechanism of action is to inhibit translocation during protein synthesis. See also: Fusidic acid (with active moiety).
