Tedizolid phosphate is approved for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections in adults. We evaluated the pharmacokinetics of tedizolid in elderly subjects to guide dosing recommendations. In an open-label phase 1 study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT01496677), 14 elderly (≥65 years) and 14 younger control (18-45 years) subjects each received a single oral dose of tedizolid phosphate 200 mg. Blood samples were collected before dose and more than 72 hours after dose. The pharmacokinetic parameters of tedizolid after a single dose were similar in both age groups. Geometric mean ratios (elderly/younger controls) and corresponding 90% confidence intervals were maximum observed plasma concentration (C ), 1.091 (0.917-1.297); AUC from time 0 extrapolated to infinity (AUC ), 1.132 (0.954-1.343). Tedizolid plasma exposure was similar in elderly and younger control subjects. The findings indicated that after intravenous or oral administration of tedizolid phosphate 200 mg once daily, no dose adjustment was warranted in elderly subjects to achieve therapeutic levels.

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the cumulative fraction of response of various dosage regimens of tedizolid phosphate against Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae in children, adolescents, and adults.

Methods: Monte Carlo simulations were performed using previously published pharmacokinetic parameters and pharmacodynamic data to evaluate the efficacy of the simulated dosage strategies in terms of area under the concentration-time curve/minimum inhibitory concentration targets of tedizolid.

Results: According to the results of the Monte Carlo simulations, currently approved dosage regimens of tedizolid phosphate were effective in the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSIs) caused by methicillin-susceptible S.

Article Synopsis
  • A novel formulation of tedizolid phosphate (TZP) nanoparticle-loaded buccal films was developed to treat buccal wounds infected with Staphylococcus aureus.
  • The optimal nanoparticle (NP) formulation was characterized and incorporated into mucoadhesive buccal films, demonstrating effective antibacterial properties in both in vitro and in vivo studies.
  • The study found that the TZP-NP-loaded films significantly reduced bacterial counts and effectively inhibited S. aureus growth in wound samples, indicating their potential for long-lasting antibacterial treatment of buccal wounds.

Article Synopsis
  • Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory bowel disease that may be worsened by cellular senescence, although their relationship is not fully understood.
  • New research shows that the compound Tedizolid Phosphate (TED) can combat senescence in colon cells affected by the UC inducer dextran sulfate sodium (DSS).
  • TED not only alleviated UC symptoms and colon senescence in mice but also worked by restoring AMPK signaling, suggesting that targeting senescence might be a promising treatment strategy for UC.

Purpose: Cisplatin is a low-cost clinical anti-tumor drug widely used to treat solid tumors. However, its use could damage cochlear hair cells, leading to irreversible hearing loss. Currently, there appears one drug approved in clinic only used for reducing ototoxicity associated with cisplatin in pediatric patients, which needs to further explore other candidate drugs.

Background: Tedizolid is an oxazolidinone anti-MRSA drug with included in the National Health Insurance Drug Price List in 2018. The effect of hemodialysis on tedizolid phosphate concentrations has been reported; pre-dialysis concentrations decreased by 10% compared to post- dialysis concentrations. However, the material of the dialysis membrane remains unknown.
