Description

What is Fidaxomicin?

Fidaxomicin, also known as lipiarmycin and tiacumicin, is an 18-membered macrolide natural product that was first reported in mid-1970s and is produced by fermentation. Fidaxomicin and its primary metabolite OP-1118, which results from hydrolysis of the isobutyryl ester, are narrowspectrum antibacterial agents with activity against gram-positive aerobic and anaerobic organisms, but not against gram-negative organisms.

FidaxoMicin Uses And Synthesis           

Fidaxomicin is a recently marketed antibiotic with a confusing history dating back to its original isolation in 1975. Fidaxomicin is the major analogue of a family of macrocyclic lactones, isolated independently by three different groups from cultures belonging to three different genera (Actinoplanes, Dactylosporangium and Micromonospora) known as lipiarmycin A3, tiacumicin B and clostomicin B1, respectively. Fidaxomicin is a narrow spectrum antibiotic with excellent activity against Gram positive bacteria, notably Clostridium difficile. Fidaxomicin acts in the gastrointestinal tract without undue disruption to gut microbial flora.
