Zosurabalpin TFA
Zosurabalpin (Abx MCP; RG6006) TFA is a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) transport inhibitor that targets the LptB2FGC complex. Zosurabalpin TFA blocks the transport of LPS from the inner membrane to the outer membrane, leading to intracellular toxic accumulation of LPS and bacterial death. Zosurabalpin TFA exhibits potent antibacterial activity against carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) and shows in vivo efficacy in mouse infection models. Zosurabalpin TFA can be used for research on CRAB infections, including pneumonia and sepsis.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Zosurabalpin (Abx MCP; RG6006) TFA potently inhibits multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates in vitro by targeting the LptB2FGC LPS transport complex, with MIC values ranging from 0.12 to 1.00 μg/mL[2].
Zosurabalpin (0.01-10 μM; 10 min) TFA inhibits LPS transport by targeting the LptB2FGC complex of Acinetobacter baylyi, with detectable inhibitory effects observed at concentrations as low as 0.01 μM[3].
Zosurabalpin (24 h) TFA exerts bactericidal activity against pan-drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii ACC01073 at concentrations of 4× MIC and above[3].
Zosurabalpin (0.01-10 μM; 60 min) TFA inhibits the transport of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from wild-type A. baylyi LptB2FGC to LptA[4].
Zosurabalpin (0.0001-10 μM) TFA binds to LPS-loaded A. baylyi LptB2FG with high affinity (but does not bind to LptB2FGC)[4].
Zosurabalpin TFA sequesters LPS in the intermediate transport state of A. baylyi LptB2FG by binding to the composite site formed by the transporter and its LPS substrate, and its binding conformation competes with the transmembrane helix of LptC for access to the transporter gate[4].

Parmacokinetics
| Species | Dose | Route | CL | Vss | T1/2 (Elimination) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mice[3] | 1 mg/kg | i.v. | 51 mL/min/kg | 0.7 L/kg | 0.3 h |
In Vivo
Zosurabalpin (24-48 h) TFA achieves a net reduction in bacteria within 24 hours and sustains suppression of bacterial loads over 48 hours at different administration doses in neutropenic mouse thigh and lung models of Acinetobacter baumannii infection[1].
Zosurabalpin (0.3-30 mg/kg; subcutaneous injection; administered twice at 1 h and 5 h post-infection) TFA confers 100% survival rate to immunocompetent mice with Acinetobacter baumannii-induced sepsis at doses of 1 mg/kg and above[3].
Zosurabalpin (6-360 mg/kg; subcutaneous injection; once every 6 hours; for 24 hours) TFA reduces lung bacterial load by > 5 log10 in neutropenic mice infected with extensively drug-resistant A. baumannii pneumonia at a total daily subcutaneous dose of 360 mg/kg[3].
Zosurabalpin (6-360 mg/kg; subcutaneous injection; once every 6 hours; for 24 hours) TFA reduces the thigh bacterial load of neutropenic mice with thigh infections induced by multidrug-resistant A. baumannii below the limit of detection at total daily subcutaneous doses of 160 mg/kg and above[3].
Zosurabalpin (30 mg/kg; subcutaneous injection; 2 administrations) TFA confers complete or partial survival benefits to immunocompetent mice infected with a specific Zosurabalpin-resistant A. baumannii mutant strain[3].
