In vitro bactericidal and in vivo therapeutic activities of a new rifamycin derivative, KRM-1648, against Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Against experimental murine tuberculosis, KRM-1648 exhibited significant therapeutic effects, in terms of prolonged survival times for mice compared with those with rifampin treatment, even at lower doses, such as 1 and 3 mg/kg.

Activity of two long-acting rifamycins, rifapentine and FCE 22807, in experimental murine tuberculosis.

Chemotherapeutic efficacy of a newly synthesized benzoxazinorifamycin, KRM-1648, against Mycobacterium avium complex infection induced in mice

KRM-1648 was not efficacious in suppressing the progression of pulmonary lesions and the increase in bacterial loads at the sites of infection, including lungs and spleen, at the late phase of infections, which may imply some difficulty with chemotherapy for AIDS-associated MAC infection, even with KRM- 1648 treatment.

Concentration-Dependent Mycobacterium tuberculosis Killing and Prevention of Resistance by Rifampin

D doses of rifampin higher than those currently employed would optimize the effect of r ifampin, if patients could tolerate them, and the important properties may include the efficient entry of the rifamycin into M. tuberculosis.

Rifamycins e Obstacles and opportunities

This review of the state-ofthe-art regarding rifamycins suggests that it is quite possible to devise improved rIFamycin analogs, and improved activity against rifampin-resistant strains by some analogs promises that further work in this area, especially if the information from co-crystal structures with RNA polymerase is applied, should lead to even better analogs.

In vitro antimycobacterial activities of newly synthesized benzoxazinorifamycins

K RM-1648 and KRM-1657 inhibited intracellular growth of M. tuberculosis, and their efficacies were much greater than that of RMP, and the other derivatives had similar levels of in vitro activity against these mycobacteria.
