Development of a novel inhibitor targeting Gyrase B and Topoisomerase IV offers a potential opportunity to combat the drug resistance. In the present study, we extensively investigated the efficacy of RBx 10080758, a novel fluorobenzothiazole, against skin and respiratory infections caused by Staphylococci and Streptococci in in vitro and in vivo models. RBx 10080758 showed a potent IC50 of 0.06 uM against Gyrase and Topoisomerase IV and also exhibited a strong whole cell in vitro activity with

MIC ranges of 0.015-0.06, 0.015-0.03, 0.008-0.03, 0.008-0.03, 0.008-0.0.06, 0.015-0.06 ug/ml against Staphylococcus. aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Coagulase negative Staphylococci, Streptococcus viridans, Streptococcus pyogenes and Enterococcus, respectively. As expected from the novel class of molecule, it retains potent even against linezolid and vancomycin resistant strains. Interesting, in mouse systemic infection 10 mg/kg, IV dose protected 100% mice from lethal infections. In rat thigh infection model with MRSA WCUH29 at 45 mg/kg exhibited >3-log10 cfu reduction in thigh muscles. RBx 10080758 displayed potent in vitro and in vivo activity against a panel of MDR Gram-positive bacteria. As a novel chemical class, the fluorobenzothiazoles have the potential to become clinically viable antibiotics, to address the drug resistance problem by its unique dual targeting mechanism of action.
