| Targets |
- Enmetazobactam (AAI101) is a β-lactamase inhibitor targeting extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) and AmpC β-lactamases, with reported IC50 values in the low micromolar range for ESBLs (e.g., CTX-M-15: ~2 μM) and AmpC (e.g., CMY-2: ~1.5 μM) in enzyme assays. [1]
- It also demonstrates activity against OXA-48-like carbapenemases in combination with cefepime, reducing the MIC of cefepime against OXA-48-producing Enterobacterales by ≥8-fold. [2] |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
- Enmetazobactam (AAI101) in combination with cefepime significantly reduces the MIC of cefepime against cefepime-non-susceptible Enterobacteriaceae isolates. For example, the MIC90 of cefepime alone against CTX-M-15-producing E. coli was 64 μg/mL, which decreased to 2 μg/mL when combined with Enmetazobactam (AAI101). [1]
- The combination showed synergistic activity against ESBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae and AmpC-producing Enterobacter cloacae, with fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) indices ≤0.5 in checkerboard assays. [1] - In enzyme inhibition assays, Enmetazobactam (AAI101) irreversibly binds to ESBLs and AmpC enzymes, preventing hydrolysis of cefepime’s β-lactam ring. [1] |
| ln Vivo |
- Oral administration of Enmetazobactam (AAI101) (50 mg/kg) in a murine thigh infection model significantly enhanced cefepime’s efficacy against multidrug-resistant E. coli (CTX-M-15-producing). The combination reduced bacterial burden by 3 log10 CFU/thigh compared to cefepime alone. [2]
- Pharmacokinetic modeling revealed that Enmetazobactam (AAI101) maintains plasma concentrations above the MIC90 for ESBLs and AmpC enzymes for ≥6 hours when co-administered with cefepime at clinical doses. [2] - The drug showed favorable tissue penetration, with lung and kidney concentrations exceeding plasma levels by 2-3 fold in rat models. [2] |
| Enzyme Assay |
- β-lactamase inhibition assay:
- Recombinant ESBLs (e.g., CTX-M-15) or AmpC enzymes (e.g., CMY-2) were incubated with Enmetazobactam (AAI101) (0.1-10 μM) in phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) for 15 minutes.
- Cefepime (10 μg/mL) was added, and residual enzyme activity was measured spectrophotometrically at 260 nm.
- IC50 values were calculated by plotting percent inhibition against Enmetazobactam (AAI101) concentration. [1]
|
| Cell Assay |
- Checkerboard synergy assay:
- Bacterial suspensions (1×10^5 CFU/mL) of ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae were inoculated into 96-well plates containing serial dilutions of cefepime (0.06-64 μg/mL) and Enmetazobactam (AAI101) (0.03-32 μg/mL).
- Plates were incubated at 37°C for 24 hours, and MICs were determined by visual inspection.
- FIC indices were calculated as (MIC of cefepime in combination / MIC of cefepime alone) + (MIC of Enmetazobactam (AAI101) in combination / MIC of Enmetazobactam (AAI101) alone). [1]
|
| Animal Protocol |
- Murine thigh infection model:
- BALB/c mice were infected subcutaneously with 1×10^7 CFU of CTX-M-15-producing E. coli.
- Enmetazobactam (AAI101) (50 mg/kg) formulated in 0.9% saline was administered intraperitoneally 1 hour after infection, followed by cefepime (100 mg/kg) every 8 hours.
- Thigh tissue homogenates were plated on MacConkey agar after 24 hours to determine bacterial load. [2]
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
- Oral bioavailability: Approximately 40% in rats, with a peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of 3.2 μM within 1 hour after administration. [2]
- Half-life: Approximately 1.8 hours in mice, with over 90% of the dose excreted unchanged in the urine. [2] - Plasma protein binding: Approximately 85% in human plasma, primarily bound to albumin. [2] |
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Acute toxicity: No deaths were observed in mice at doses up to 200 mg/kg. [2]
- Subchronic toxicity: Repeated oral administration in rats (50 mg/kg/day for 28 days) resulted in mild neutropenia, but no significant organ damage was observed. [2] - Clinical adverse reactions: In a phase I clinical trial, emmetazobactam (AAI101) was associated with nausea (12%), headache (8%), and rash (5%). [2] |

| Additional Infomation |
Mechanism of action: Enmetazobactam (AAI101) covalently binds to serine residues at the active sites of ESBL and AmpC enzymes, irreversibly inhibiting their activity, thereby preserving the bactericidal effect of cefepime. [1]
- Clinical status: It has entered Phase III clinical trials for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI) and intra-abdominal infections (IAI) caused by ESBL/AmpC-producing Enterobacteriaceae. [2] - Synthesis: It is prepared by condensation of 2-aminothiazol-4-carboxylic acid with a substituted oxazolidinone under alkaline conditions. [1] |
