Ranbezolid
Ranbezolid (RBx7644 free base) is an orally active, oxazolidinone antibiotic against Gram-positive and Gram-negative anaerobes including Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Bacteroides fragilis. Ranbezolid can inhibit the 50s ribosomal subunit with an IC50 of 17 μM for bacterial ribosomes. Ranbezolid interferes cell wall and lipid synthesis. Ranbezolid can rapidly kill bacteria, significantly reduce bacterial load, and has better cardiovascular safety. Ranbezolid can be used for the study of antibiotics for anaerobic bacteria.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Ranbezolid (1 μg/mL) can effectively inhibit protein synthesis in S.aureus as well as in S. epidermidis, and additionally suppress the cell wall and lipid synthesis of Staphylococcus epidermidis[1].
Ranbezoild (1-8 μg/mL) can cause concentration-dependent damage to the cell membrane of S. epidermidis[1].
Ranbezoild exhibits a IC50 value of 17 μM for bacterial ribosomes and safety index of 865[1].
Ranbezolid exhibits the MICs against the anaerobic strains of B. fragilis, B. vulgatus, B. thetaiotaomicron, C. perfringens, C. difficile and P. magnus were 0.06, 0.015, 0.06, 0.06, 0.03 and 0.015 μg/mL, respectively[2].

In Vivo
Ranbezoild (≤ 50 mg/kg, p.o., single dose) does not significantly enhance the blood pressure-raising effect of Tyramine (HY-W007606) within the therapeutic dose range in the spontaneous hypertension model of rats[3].

Protocols

Anaerobic Bacterial Culture
Anaerobic bacterial culture detects viable bacteria that can grow under oxygen-depleted conditions; the readout is visible colony formation or broth turbidity after incubation in a chamber, jar, pouch, bag, or roll-tube system that maintains anaerobiosis. Oxygen control is central to the method because recovery depends on limiting oxygen exposure during collection, transport, inoculation, and incubation.

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay
Cytotoxicity assays are usually based on the assessment of cell membrane damage, which can also be indirectly detected by measuring cell viability. Detection methods include MTT assay, CKK-8 assay, LDH assay and ATP assay, etc.

Gram Staining of Tissue Sections
Gram staining of tissue sections is a histochemical technique used to differentiate Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria within histological specimens based on differences in bacterial cell wall structure and dye retention, adapted from classical bacteriological Gram staining into tissue-compatible “histological Gram stain” variants. In tissue applications, modifications of the Brown-Hopps and Brown-Brenn methods are commonly used to improve differentiation of microorganisms embedded within host connective tissue and to reduce overstaining or loss of Gram-negative signal, which are known limitations of earlier approaches. The principle relies on crystal violet-iodine complex retention in Gram-positive organisms and subsequent decolorization and counterstaining steps that allow contrast visualization of Gram-negative organisms against tissue background.
