Product Description

Gepotidacin (formerly GSK2140944) is a novel, potent, first-in-class, triazaacenaphthylene antibacterial that inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV via a unique mechanism and has demonstrated in vitro activity against Neisseria gonorrhoeae, including drug-resistant strains, and also targets pathogens associated with other conventional and biothreat infections. Broth microdilution was used to evaluate the MIC and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) activity of gepotidacin and comparators against 25 N. gonorrhoeae strains (including five ciprofloxacin-nonsusceptible strains). Gepotidacin activity was also evaluated against three N. gonorrhoeae strains (including a ciprofloxacin-nonsusceptible strain) for resistance development, against three N. gonorrhoeae strains (including two tetracycline- and azithromycin-nonsusceptible strains) using time-kill kinetics and checkerboard methods, and against two N. gonorrhoeae strains for the investigation of postantibiotic (PAE) and subinhibitory (PAE-SME) effects. The MIC50 and MIC90 for gepotidacin against the 25 N. gonorrhoeae isolates tested were 0.12 and 0.25 μg/ml, respectively. The MBC50 and MBC90 for gepotidacin were 0.25 and 0.5 μg/ml, respectively. Gepotidacin was bactericidal, and single-step resistance selection studies did not recover any mutants, indicating a low rate of spontaneous single-step resistance. For combinations of gepotidacin and comparators tested using checkerboard methods, there were no instances where antagonism occurred and only one instance of synergy (with moxifloxacin; fractional inhibitory concentration, 0.375). This was not confirmed by in vitro time-kill studies. The PAE for gepotidacin against the wild-type strain ranged from 0.5 to >2.5 h, and the PAE-SME was >2.5 h. These in vitro data indicate that further study of gepotidacin is warranted for potential use in treating infections caused by N. gonorrhoeae.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Gepotidacin is a novel, first-in-class triazaacenaphthylene antibacterial that targets pathogens linked to other common and biothreat infections. It also inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV through a unique mechanism. It has demonstrated in vitro activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including drug-resistant strains. Against the 25 N. gonorrhoeae isolates tested, the MIC50 and MIC90 values for gepotidacin are 0.12 and 0.25 μg/mL, respectively[1]. The following bacteria have different gepotidacin MIC90s (in μg/mL): Escherichia coli, 2; Moraxella catarrhalis, ≤0.06; Haemophilus influenzae, 1; Clostridium perfringens, 0.5; and Shigella spp., 1[2]. Acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSIs) can be caused by pathogens that gepotidacin is reactive against in vitro[3].
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.
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].

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
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)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
