摘要:
The present invention relates generally to the 18-membered macrocyclic antimicrobial agents called Tiacumicins, specifically, OPT-80 (which is composed almost entirely of the R-Tiacumicin B), pharmaceutical compositions comprising OPT-80, and methods using OPT-80. In particular, this compound is a potent drug for the treatment of bacterial infections, specifically C. difficile infections.
摘要:
Described herein are novel macrolides, the preparation of novel macrolides, the use of novel macrolides for preventing, treating, or ameliorating various conditions, and the use of novel macrolides as antibacterial agents.
摘要:
The invention encompasses an active metabolite of the 18-membered macrocyclic antimicrobial agents, specifically, a metabolite of tiacumicin B and in certain embodiments, R-Tiacumicin B or and its related compounds. In particular, the invention encompasses a compound that acts as a potent antibiotic agent for the treatment of bacterial infections, specifically GI infections caused by toxin producing strains of Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) and Clostridium perfringens (C. perfringens).

This invention relates to novel macrolides, to the preparation of novel macrolides, to the use of such novel macrolides for preventing, treating, or ameliorating various conditions, and to the use of such novel macrolides as antibacterial agents.
摘要:
This invention relates to the treatment or prevention of diseases associated with the use of antibiotics or cancer chemotherapies or antiviral therapies, such as colitis, pseudomembranous colitis, antibiotic associated diarrhea and infections due to C difficile, C. perfringens, Staphylococcus species including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or Enterococcus including vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) with Compound I.
摘要:
Methods, processes and materials for the production and recovery of Tiacumicins produced by culturing a microorganism belonging to the species Dactylosporangium aurantiacum subspecies hamdenensis having the ability to produce and accumulate one or more Tiacumicin in a nutrient medium comprising a carbon source, a nitrogen source, trace elements such as inorganic salts, and an adsorbent, wherein said nitrogen source comprises fish powder, and wherein said Tiacumicin is produced in a yield greater than about 50 mg/L broth.
