| Targets |
Piromidic acid targets bacterial DNA gyrase, a type II topoisomerase essential for bacterial DNA replication. By inhibiting DNA gyrase, the compound prevents the supercoiling of bacterial DNA, leading to the inhibition of DNA replication and transcription. This results in the death of bacterial cells. The compound shows activity against Gram-negative bacteria and Staphylococcus aureus.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, piromidic acid exhibits antibacterial activity against a range of Gram-negative organisms. It also shows activity against Staphylococcus aureus. The compound's mechanism of action involves inhibition of bacterial DNA synthesis. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) vary depending on the bacterial strain. Detailed in vitro activity data is available in the primary literature.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, piromidic acid is used clinically for the treatment of urinary tract and intestinal infections. It has also been utilized for biliary tract infections. The compound's antibacterial activity is attributed to its inhibition of bacterial DNA gyrase. Specific in vivo efficacy data and dosing regimens are described in the clinical literature.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cellular enzyme assays for piromidic acid involve measuring DNA gyrase inhibition. The enzyme is incubated with DNA substrate and varying concentrations of the compound. DNA supercoiling or relaxation activity is measured by agarose gel electrophoresis. IC₅₀ values are calculated from inhibition curves.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular experiments involve culturing bacterial strains (Gram-negative and Staphylococcus aureus) in the presence of piromidic acid. Antibacterial activity is assessed by measuring the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) using broth dilution or agar diffusion methods. Bacterial growth is monitored by optical density measurements.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies for piromidic acid would involve infection models in rodents. Animals are infected with pathogenic bacteria and treated with piromidic acid via oral or parenteral routes. Bacterial clearance from tissues is assessed by colony counting. Survival and clinical signs are monitored.
|

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

*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.
