| Targets |
Nacubactam targets multiple components of the bacterial cell wall synthesis and resistance machinery through a triple-action mechanism. Firstly, it acts as a potent inhibitor of serine β-lactamases, including Ambler classes A, C, and selected D enzymes. Secondly, it directly binds to penicillin-binding protein 2 (PBP2) in Enterobacteriaceae, conferring intrinsic antibacterial activity. Thirdly, it enhances the activity of partner β-lactam antibiotics, even against某些β-lactamase-negative strains. However, it lacks direct activity against class B metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs).
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, nacubactam demonstrates potent inhibitory activity against a wide range of β-lactamases, restoring the activity of antibiotics like meropenem and cefepime against resistant strains. It possesses intrinsic antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacilli due to its high affinity for PBP2. When combined with β-lactams such as aztreonam or cefepime, nacubactam produces substantial reductions in minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) against multidrug-resistant pathogens, including carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales. In vivo, nacubactam has demonstrated efficacy in murine infection models. Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) studies in mice have been used to determine target values for the cefepime/nacubactam combination against β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales. These preclinical models support its therapeutic potential against serious Gram-negative infections, including pneumonia.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, nacubactam has been evaluated in Phase 1, 2, and 3 clinical trials. Phase 1 studies in healthy volunteers showed it is generally well tolerated with favorable pharmacokinetics. A Phase 1 study demonstrated favorable intrapulmonary penetration of nacubactam, with an epithelial lining fluid (ELF) to plasma area under the curve ratio of 0.271, supporting its development for nosocomial pneumonia. The pivotal Phase 3 Integral-1 trial (N=614) evaluated cefepime-nacubactam and aztreonam-nacubactam versus imipenem-cilastatin for cUTI and acute pyelonephritis. Cefepime-nacubactam achieved an 82% clinical and microbiological success rate, significantly higher than the 61% for the control arm. Aztreonam-nacubactam showed a 72% success rate, meeting the non-inferiority criteria.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme assays for nacubactam typically measure its ability to inhibit β-lactamase activity, often using a chromogenic or fluorogenic substrate. The compound is dissolved in a suitable solvent like DMSO and serially diluted in assay buffer. The enzyme (e.g., class A or C β-lactamase) is incubated with the substrate and varying concentrations of nacubactam. The rate of substrate hydrolysis is monitored spectrophotometrically or fluorometrically, and the IC₅₀ value is calculated from dose-response curves. Its binding affinity for PBP2 can be assessed using competition assays with a labeled penicillin, such as Bocillin FL, in membrane preparations from Enterobacteriaceae.
|
| Cell Assay |
For cell-based assays, the in vitro antibacterial activity of nacubactam, alone or in combination, is evaluated using standard broth microdilution methods against a panel of bacterial isolates. Bacterial cultures are grown in appropriate media (e.g., Mueller-Hinton broth) and inoculated into 96-well plates containing serial two-fold dilutions of the test compound(s). The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is determined as the lowest concentration that inhibits visible bacterial growth after overnight incubation at 35°C. The synergistic or additive effect of nacubactam with partner β-lactams can be assessed by checkerboard assays or by measuring the reduction in MIC of the β-lactam in the presence of a fixed concentration of nacubactam.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo, nacubactam is administered intravenously. In preclinical studies, it is typically given to rodent models of infection (e.g., thigh or pneumonia models) via intravenous or subcutaneous injection. In clinical trials, healthy volunteers or patients receive nacubactam as an intravenous infusion over 60 to 90 minutes. For the Phase 3 Integral-1 trial, patients with cUTI or acute pyelonephritis were randomized to receive intravenous cefepime-nacubactam, aztreonam-nacubactam, or imipenem-cilastatin. Efficacy was assessed by clinical and microbiological responses at a test-of-cure visit. Safety was monitored through adverse event reporting, clinical laboratory tests, and vital signs.

| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Nacubactam (MW 324.31, C₉H₁₆N₄O₇S) is predominantly excreted unchanged in the urine, indicating minimal metabolic clearance. Its pharmacokinetics appear linear, with exposure increasing in an approximately dose-proportional manner across the dose range investigated (50 to 8,000 mg). It has a plasma half-life of approximately 1.71 hours. The compound shows favorable intrapulmonary penetration. Coadministration with β-lactams like meropenem, cefepime, or aztreonam does not significantly alter its pharmacokinetic profile. Metabolites (M1 and M2) are detected at low levels.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Nacubactam has been generally well tolerated in clinical trials. The most frequently reported adverse events were mild to moderate complications associated with intravenous access and headache. No serious adverse events, dose-limiting toxicities, or deaths related to the study drug were reported. There was no apparent relationship between drug dose and the pattern, incidence, or severity of adverse events. No clinically relevant dose-related trends were observed in laboratory safety test results. The compound is classified with GHS07 warning, indicating potential for acute toxicity.

| Additional Infomation |
Nacubactam is being investigated in the clinical trial NCT03174795 (a study of the pharmacokinetics of RO7079901 and meropenem in patients with complicated urinary tract infections).
Nacubactam is an investigational β-lactamase inhibitor developed by Meiji Seika Pharma. It has a unique triple mechanism of action: inhibiting serine β-lactamases (classes A, C, and some D), binding to PBP2, and enhancing partner β-lactam activity. It has received U.S. FDA Fast Track and Qualified Infectious Disease Product designations. Phase 1 studies in healthy Japanese and Chinese participants confirmed its favorable safety and PK profile. The Phase 3 Integral-1 trial, published in *The Lancet*, met its primary endpoints, with cefepime-nacubactam showing superior efficacy to imipenem-cilastatin for cUTI and pyelonephritis. The compound is not yet approved for clinical use. |
