Handling Instructions Technical Support

Reutericyclin (Reutericycline) is an orally active antibacterial and anti-obesity agent that selectively inhibits Gram-positive bacteria. By selectively dissipating transmembrane potential, Reutericyclin exerts non-lytic bactericidal or bacteriostatic activity against pathogens such as Clostridium difficile and Staphylococcus aureus, and rapidly kills vegetative cells and spores of Clostridium difficile. Reutericyclin possesses favorable properties including resistance to enzymatic hydrolysis, iron-chelating function, and poor absorption by colonic epithelium. Reutericyclin not only eradicates staphylococcal biofilms and inhibits drug-resistant strains, but also counteracts Risperidone (HY-11018)-induced weight gain by inducing changes in gut microbiota composition and restoring energy utilization efficiency. Reutericyclin can be used in research related to Clostridium difficile infection, Risperidone-induced weight gain, and staphylococcal superficial skin infections.

Description

Reutericyclin (Reutericycline) is an orally active antibacterial and anti-obesity agent that selectively inhibits Gram-positive bacteria. By selectively dissipating transmembrane potential, Reutericyclin exerts non-lytic bactericidal or bacteriostatic activity against pathogens such as Clostridium difficile and Staphylococcus aureus, and rapidly kills vegetative cells and spores of Clostridium difficile. Reutericyclin possesses favorable properties including resistance to enzymatic hydrolysis, iron-chelating function, and poor absorption by colonic epithelium. Reutericyclin not only eradicates staphylococcal biofilms and inhibits drug-resistant strains, but also counteracts Risperidone (HY-11018)-induced weight gain by inducing changes in gut microbiota composition and restoring energy utilization efficiency. Reutericyclin can be used in research related to Clostridium difficile infection, Risperidone-induced weight gain, and staphylococcal superficial skin infections[1][2][3][4].

In Vitro

The MIC values of Reutericyclin for inhibiting and killing Clostridioides difficile strains 9689, BAA-1803 and BAA-1875 in logarithmic growth phase range from 0.09 to 0.19 mg/L, while its MBC values for the bacteria in stationary phase range from 0.19 to 0.5 mg/L[1].
Reutericyclin (200 mg/L) exhibits no cytotoxicity against Caco-2 colon cancer cells[1].
Reutericyclin (0.1-1.6 μg/mL) inhibits the growth of Methicillin (HY-121544)-susceptible and Methicillin-resistant clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus, with MIC50 values of 0.8 μg/mL and 3.12 μg/mL, and MIC90 values of 1.6 μg/mL and 6.25 μg/mL, respectively[3].
Reutericyclin (0.8-3.12 μg/mL) inhibits the growth of mupirocin (HY-B0958)-resistant clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus, with an MIC50 of 1.6 μg/mL and an MIC90 of 3.12 μg/mL[3].
Reutericyclin (0.012-0.4 μg/mL) inhibits the growth of clinical isolates of Streptococcus pyogenes, with an MIC50 of 0.4 μg/mL and an MIC90 of 0.4 μg/mL[3].
Reutericyclin shows no activity against Staphylococcus aureus in an environment containing 50% human serum, with an MIC of ≥200 μg/mL[3].
Reutericyclin (6.4 mg/L; 60 min; 600 MPa; 90 °C) induces a tailing effect during the inactivation of spores of Clostridium perfringens ATCC 7955 and Clostridium beijerinckii ATCC 8260, but shows no effect on spores of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens FAD 11/2[4].

In Vivo

Reutericyclin (2.5 μg per day; oral gavage; daily; 25 days) significantly mitigates Risperidone (HY-11018)-induced weight gain in female C57BL/6J mice, reducing average weight gain from 3.58 g to 2.5 g relative to risperidone-only treatment[2].
Reutericyclin (2.5 μg per day; oral gavage; daily; 50 days) restores energy efficiency and significantly reduces risperidone-induced weight gain in female C57BL/6J mice, even when co-administered with a reutericyclin-deficient L. reuteri mutant[2].
(R)-reutericyclin (2.5 μg per day; oral gavage; daily) mitigates risperidone-induced weight gain in female C57BL/6J mice, with efficacy lower than that of (S)-reutericyclin[2].

Animal Model: C57BL/6J (female)[2]
Dosage: 2.5 μg per day
Administration: oral gavage; daily; 50 days
Result: Reduced average weight gain from ~8 g to ~4 g compared to risperidone-only treated mice (ANOVA, interaction p<0.05).
Restored energy efficiency to levels similar to vehicle control mice; risperidone-only treated mice had significantly higher energy efficiency compared to reutericyclin-treated cohorts (pairwise Mann-Whitney, p<0.05).
Showed no differences in food intake, water consumption, or digestive efficiency across groups.

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

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.
