171099-57-3 Usage
Description
ORITAVANCIN is a semisynthetic glycopeptide antibiotic, which is utilized in the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections. It is particularly effective against susceptible isolates of designated Gram-positive microorganisms, including Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). ORITAVANCIN functions by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, thereby preventing the growth and spread of the infection.
Uses
Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
ORITAVANCIN is used as an antibiotic for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections. It is specifically effective against Gram-positive microorganisms, such as MRSA, due to its ability to inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis and disrupt the growth and spread of the infection.
ORITAVANCIN is also used as a therapeutic agent for combating antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains, as it demonstrates potent activity against MRSA and other resistant Gram-positive bacteria. This makes it a valuable addition to the arsenal of antibiotics used in the fight against drug-resistant infections.
Clinical Use
Antibacterial agent
Enzyme inhibitor
This novel, semi-synthetic glycopeptide antibiotic (FW = 1793.10 g/mol; CAS 171099-57-3), also known as LY333328, Orbactiv?, and (4R)-22-O- (3-amino-2,3,6-trideoxy-3-C-methyl-a-L-arabinohexopyranosyl)-N3-(p-(pchlorophenyl) benzyl)vancomycin, disrupts the cell membrane of Grampositive bacteria and inhibits both transglycosylation and transpeptidation. Oritavancin differs from vancomycin by the presence of a hydrophobic N-4-(4-chlorophenyl)benzyl substituent on the disaccharide, the addition of a 4-epi-vancosamine monosaccharide to the amino acid residue in Ring-6, and replacement of the vancosamine moiety by 4-epi-vancosamine. When compared vancomycin, teicoplanin, and quinupristin-dalfopristin (Synercid) against 219 strains of enterococci and staphylococci, including vancomycin-resistant enterococci and methicillinresistant methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus, LY333328 demonstrated superior activity against vancomycin-resistant enterococci and was the only antibiotic which was bactericidal. Indeed, a single infusion of this antibiotic (1200 mg) can clear serious bacterial skin infections, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, as effectively as the usual 7-10 day, twice-daily regimen of vancomycin now needed to treat patients.
Drug interactions
Potentially hazardous interactions with other drugs
Anticoagulants: possibly increases warfarin
concentration.
Metabolism
In vitro human liver microsome studies indicated that
oritavancin is not metabolised. It is excreted unchanged;
less than 1% and 5% of a dose is recovered in the urine
and the faeces.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 171099-57-3 includes 9 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 6 digits, 1,7,1,0,9 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 5 and 7 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 171099-57:
(8*1)+(7*7)+(6*1)+(5*0)+(4*9)+(3*9)+(2*5)+(1*7)=143
143 % 10 = 3
So 171099-57-3 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
