ABSTRACT Animal and new approach methodologies such as the hollow fiber system model [HFS] are used for Mycobacterium avium-complex [MAC] lung disease [LD] preclinical drug development. Our objective was to perform a systematic review to benchmark these pre-clinical tools. We performed a literature search to identify preclinical pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics [PK/PD] studies for MAC-LD. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses was used for bias minimization. Twenty HFS-MAC and 3 mouse studies met PK/PD inclusion criteria. We created a novel quality score tool based on predictors of clinical response, design optimization, and information theory. The quality score was judged high in 10%, good in 50%, adequate in 30%, and poor in 10% of studies. Monte Carlo experiments for PK/PD target attainment were reported in 61% of studies. On repetitive sampling, the PK/PD target exposure estimate varied significantly between sampling days in 76% of studies. The solution was ordinary differential equations with parameter outputs such as γ [nonlinear kill-slope] and time-to-extinction applied to both HFS-MAC and patients’ sputa CFU/mL output. Next, we ranked the antibiotics by extent of microbial kill as fold-improvement over guideline-based therapy. The three top ranked drugs for microbial kill were omadacycline [69-fold], tedizolid [19-fold], and ceftriaxone [8-fold]. We recommend the HFS-MAC as tractable for exposure-effect and dose-fractionation studies, ranking antibiotics effect, and for translation to clinical doses. The analyses inform us of HFS-MAC recommendations for regulatory authorities and drug developers, including quality scores for optimal PK/PD design for target identification, resistance suppression, and choice of the best novel regimen.

Protein synthesis involves the action of ribosomes, multi-subunit complexes composed of both protein and ribosomal RNA (rRNA) substituents. Translocation along the length of a messenger RNA and concomitant protein synthesis involves the action of the A, P, and E sites of the peptidyltransferase centre (PTC), which accepts charged aminoacyl-tRNAs and catalyzes the formation of peptide bonds between them. The bacterial 70S ribosome comprises a small (30S) and a large (50S) subunit.[A199134]
Early studies into the mechanism of action of oxazolidinone antibiotics suggested that they inhibit a step in the initiation of protein synthesis.[A199083] However, this mechanism was inconsistent with mapped resistance mutations, and later studies involving cross-linking and direct structural determination of the binding site revealed that oxazolidinones, including both [linezolid] and tedizolid, bind in the A site of the PTC by interacting with the 23S rRNA component.[A199080][A199077] The structural studies also revealed that oxazolidinone binding alters the conformation of a conserved nucleotide in the 23S rRNA (U2585 in Escherichia coli), which renders the PTC non-productive for peptide bond formation.[A199077] Hence, tedizolid exerts its effect through inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis.[L11232]

The Cmax for tedizolid after a single dose/at steady-state is 2.0 ± 0.7/2.2 ± 0.6 mcg/mL for oral administration, and 2.3 ± 0.6/3.0 ± 0.7 mcg/mL for intravenous administration, respectively.
Similarly, the Tmax has a median (range) of 2.5 (1.0 - 8.0)/3.5 (1.0 - 6.0) hrs for the oral route and 1.1 (0.9 - 1.5)/1.2 (0.9 - 1.5) hrs when given intravenous. The AUC is 23.8 ± 6.8/25.6 ± 8.4 mcg\*hr/mL for oral and 26.6 ± 5.2/29.2 ± 6.2 mcg\*hr/mL for intravenous.

In a study involving oral administration of 200 mg tedizolid to steady-state, the volume of distribution was 108 ± 21 L, while a single 600 mg oral dose resulted in an apparent volume of distribution of 113.3 ± 19.3 L.

Tedizolid has been observed to penetrate the interstitial space of both adipose and skeletal muscle tissue and is also found in the epithelial lining fluid as well as in alveolar macrophages.
