Description

Fosfomycin (MK-0955) calcium is a blood-brain barrier penetrating, broad-spectrum antibiotic by irreversibly inhibiting an early stage in cell wall synthesis. Fosfomycin calcium shows both in vivo and in vitro activity against a wide range of bacteria, including multidrug-resistant (MDR), extensively drug-resistant (XDR), and pan-drug-resistant (PDR) bacteria[1][2].

In Vitro

Fosfomycin calcium is an epoxy antibacterial agent. Compared with other antibacterial agents, it acts by inhibiting the early process of cell wall synthesis[1].
Fosfomycin calcium has bactericidal activity against a variety of gram-negative and gram-positive pathogens, including broad-spectrum production β-Bacteria of lactamase and carbapenemase, and against S. aureus strains with an inhibition rate of 90%[1].
Fosfomycin calcium displays extensive tissue penetration, can be used to research of infections of the CNS, soft tissues, bone, lungs, and abscesses[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Fosfomycin calcium (80 mg/kg; i.v.-i.v. or i.v.-p.o.) displays the protective effect on the nephrotoxicity of double beckacin, and is not affected by different administration routes[3].

Animal Model: Fischer 344 rats[3]
Dosage: 320 mg/kg
Administration: Intramuscular injection, 5 schedules: 1 h, 0.5 h earlier than dibekacin, concomitantly, 0.5 h later and 1 h later; 11 days
Result: Reduced polyuria, proteinuria, enzymes and cytosine caused by dibecacin (40 mg/kg), followed by the previous treatment.
Animal Model: Dehydrated Wistar rat with acute renal failure (8-week-old)[4]
Dosage: 120 mg/kg
Administration: Intravenous injection; once
Result: Recovered the exclusion rate of rats basically to normal, and improved the nephrotoxicity parameters.
Protects proximal tubular lysosomes from aminoglycosides by inhibiting myeloid formation and protecting the integrity of lysosomal membrane of rats treated with double bekacin.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
