Mecillinam
Based on 4 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Mecillinam (Amdinocillin) is a β-lactam Antibiotic. Mecillinam inhibits PBP2. Mecillinam exhibits activity against Gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae, and NDM-/OXA-producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae, and can eradicate catheter/bladder mucosa biofilms and clear planktonic bacteria in urine. Mecillinam acts synergistically with β-lactams and Avibactam (HY-14879), enhancing the activity of β-lactams against E. coli in vitro/in vivo. Mecillinam can be used in research on catheter-associated bacteriuria, chlamydial infection and peritonitis/sepsis.

Descripciòn
IC50 & Target
[6]|
β-lactam |
In Vitro
Mecillinam (0.4-100 μg/mL; 18 h) inhibits a significant proportion of Gram-negative isolates by the agar dilution method, with 75% of Escherichia coli and 62% of Enterobacter inhibited at 6.3 μg/mL[2].
Mecillinam (0.009-10 mg/L; 18 h) inhibits E. coli O54 with an MIC of 10 mg/L and produces complete growth inhibition when used in combination at 0.156 mg/L (FIC 0.016), with a total FIC of 0.046[4].
Mecillinam (0.0625-32 mg/L; 30 min) binds PBP2 with an IC50 of 0.3 mg/L in the E. coli MG1655 PBP competition assay, and Avibactam (HY-14879) does not alter the PBP binding affinity of Mecillinam[5].
Mecillinam (4 mg/L) combined with 1 mg/L Avibactam effectively kills K. pneumoniae isolates KP2, KP5, KP6, KP7, KP8, and ATCC 13883[5].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
In Vivo
Mecillinam (30 mg/kg alone; 2-8 mg/kg in combination with ampicillin; subcutaneous injection; single injection) is ineffective against normal mice with E. coli thigh infection, but low doses strongly enhance the antibacterial activity of Ampicillin (HY-B0522)[4].
Mecillinam (30 mg/kg alone; 2-8 mg/kg in combination with Ampicillin; subcutaneous injection; single injection) is ineffective against Escherichia coli thigh infection in irradiated granulocytopenic mice, but low doses still enhance the antibacterial activity of Ampicillin[4].

Animal Model:New Zealand white (male)[1]
-
Dosage:50, 100, 200, or 400 mg/kg body weight each day
-
Administration:intravenous; four divided doses each day; 72 h
-
Result:At sacrifice, log10 cfu of E. coli/mL or cm2 in urethral catheter were NG for 400 mg/kg, 2.02 for 200 mg/kg (2/6), 0.97 for 100 mg/kg (2/5), and 2.53 for 50 mg/kg (2/5).
At 400 mg/kg, at 48 h four of five rabbits had completely eliminated bacteria from urine; at 72 h all rabbits had sterile catheter urine, and urine, catheter, and bladder wall samples were free of detectable bacteria.
-
Animal Model:Swiss-type (SPF, male, 20-25 g)[4]
-
Dosage:30 mg/kg (alone); 2 mg/kg (with ampicillin); 4 mg/kg (with ampicillin); 8 mg/kg (with ampicillin)
-
Administration:subcutaneous; single injection
-
Result:At 30 mg/kg alone, did not produce an antibacterial effect in normal mice.
In combination with ampicillin, produced a strong potentiating effect.
The lowest dose examined in combination was 2 mg/kg.
Potency ratios of the combinations relative to ampicillin alone, plotted against dose in Fig. 5a, increased with dose (2, 4, and 8 mg/kg).
