Nafithromycin
Nafithromycin (WCK 4873) is an orally active ketolide antibiotic with activity against Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, and atypical respiratory pathogens (including drug-resistant strains). Nafithromycin binds to domains II and V of bacterial 23S rRNA and the peptidyl transferase center of the 50S ribosomal subunit, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis. Nafithromycin can be used in research related to bacterial infections.

Biological Activity
Nafithromycin (0.03-1 mg/liter; 72 h) exhibits in vitro activity against 10 clinical Chlamydia pneumoniae isolates, with an MIC50 of 0.03 mg/liter and an MIC90 of 0.25 mg/liter[1].
Nafithromycin (WCK 4873) potently inhibits growth of erythromycin-sensitive, mef-expressing, ermB-expressing, and high-level ermB-expressing Streptococcus pneumoniae, as well as high-level ermB-expressing Streptococcus pyogenes, with MICs ranging from 0.015-0.03 μg/mL to 0.5 μg/mL[2].
Nafithromycin shows non-cytotoxic effects up to 62.5 μg/mL in CHO cells, 31.25 μg/mL in MDBK, V79, HepG2, L929, and HeLa cells, and 15.6- ≤ 31.25 μg/mL in J774 cells[2].
Nafithromycin exhibits potent in vitro activity against Streptococcus pneumoniae (MIC50/MIC90 0.015/0.06 μg/mL, 100% inhibited at ≤0.25 μg/mL), Streptococcus pyogenes (MIC50/MIC90 0.015/0.015 μg/mL, 100% inhibited at ≤0.5 μg/mL), and Moraxella catarrhalis (MIC50/MIC90 0.12/0.25 μg/mL), bimodal activity against Staphylococcus aureus (MIC50/MIC90 0.06/>2 μg/mL), and moderate activity against Haemophilus influenzae (MIC50/MIC90 4/4 μg/mL) when tested against 2014 global clinical respiratory isolates via CLSI broth microdilution methods[3].
Nafithromycin potently inhibits clinical Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates (including macrolide-resistant strains) with an MIC50 of 0.03 mg/L and MIC90 of 0.06 mg/L, and achieves 100% susceptibility at a PK/PD breakpoint of 0.25 mg/L[4].
Nafithromycin potently inhibits Indian clinical Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates (including those with erm and mef-mediated macrolide resistance) with an MIC50 of 0.015 mg/L and MIC90 of 0.06 mg/L[4].
