Linezolid (Synonyms: PNU 100766)

Catalog No.GC11221 Copy One-Click Copy Product Info

Linezolid (PNU-100766) is an orally active oxazolidinone antibiotic that has inhibitory activity against a variety of Gram-positive bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), glycopeptide-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (GISA), vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE), and penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae. Linezolid is a 50S ribosomal subunit-specific inhibitor that binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit to inhibit the initial step of protein synthesis.

Description of Linezolid

Linezolid (PNU-100766) is an orally active oxazolidinone antibiotic that has inhibitory activity against a variety of Gram-positive bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), glycopeptide-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (GISA), vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE), and penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae[1]. Linezolid is a 50S ribosomal subunit-specific inhibitor that binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit to inhibit the initial step of protein synthesis[2]. The IC50 of linezolid for protein synthesis in Staphylococcus aureus is 0.3μg/ml, and the IC50 for 50S subunit formation is 0.6μg/ml[3]. Linezolid is indicated for the treatment of skin infections, bacterial pneumonia, and infections complicated by bacteremia[4].

In vitro, Linezolid (1.18 mM) treatment of THP-1 cells infected with Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923 and E19977) for 24 h had no effect on cell viability, but had a significant inhibitory effect on intracellular and extracellular strains[5].

In vivo, Linezolid (50 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected into rats with MRSA mediastinitis for 7 days, significantly reducing bacterial counts in the mediastinum and sternum[6].

Protocol of Linezolid

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

THP-1 cells

Preparation Method

Linezolid (up to 24 h at 1.18mM) on cell viability was assessed by the Trypan Blue exclusion test.

Reaction Conditions

1.18mM; 24h

Applications

Linezolid did not have a toxic effect on uninfected THP-1 cells in the concentration range used in our experiments.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Wistar rats 

Preparation Method

A partial upper median sternotomy was performed on 70 rats. The animals were divided into seven groups: an uncontaminated control group; an untreated contaminated group; three contaminated groups treated with antibiotics intraperitoneally with either 25 or 50 mg/kg linezolid twice a day, or rifampin 5 mg/kg twice a day; and two contaminated groups that received a combination therapy consisting of 25 or 50 mg/kg linezolid and rifampin 5 mg/kg twice a day. The antibiotic treatment lasted 7 days. 

Dosage form

25 or 50mg/kg; i.p.

Applications

The 25-mg/kg dose of linezolid was not effective in reducing the bacterial counts in mediastinum and sternum. Quantitative bacterial cultures of mediastinum and sternum were significantly lower in the groups receiving 50 mg/kg linezolid alone or in combination with rifampin compared with the control.
