Development and Validation of a Sensitive Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry Method for Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Ceftolozane and Tazobactam in Human Plasma Microsamples

Article

Author: Giorgi, Beatrice ; Conti, Matteo ; Gatti, Milo ; Pea, Federico ; Viale, Pierluigi

Background:Ceftolozane/tazobactam (C-T) is a novel beta-lactam/beta-lactamase inhibitor combination approved for the treatment of various infections caused by difficult-to-treat Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In critically ill patients, C-T may exhibit significant pharmacokinetic variability, both between individuals and within individuals, warranting therapeutic drug monitoring for clinical purposes. We aim to develop and validate a novel and sensitive analytical method for concurrently determining C and T in human plasma microsamples (3 μL).Methods:The method was developed using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) with positive electrospray ionization and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) detection modes, employing specific mass transitions for both drugs. Sample preparation was simple, and the chromatographic run lasted only 4 minutes. Validation was conducted according to European Medicines Agency (EMA) guidelines, encompassing specificity, sensitivity, linearity, precision, accuracy, matrix effect, extraction recovery, limit of quantification, and drug stability. The validated method was applied to measure C and T in 32 plasma samples collected from critically ill patients with multidrug-resistant, gram-negative, bacterial infections.Results:The method ensured accurate (BIAS% 2.1–9.6 for C and −2.2 to 15.2 for T) and precise intraday CV% for C: 6.7–5.5; for T: 1.3–8.9; interday CV% for C 6.0–10.8; for T 4.1–10.2) measurements of C-T over a wide concentration range (0.2–200.0 mg/L for C and 0.1–100.0 mg/L for T). Overall, the recovery at quality control concentration levels was high for both C and T (mean values: 90–91 for C and 89–92 for T). Analyte stability was satisfactory in both human plasma and extracts under various storage conditions. The clinical applicability of the assay was confirmed by the reliably quantifying C and T in clinical plasma samples.Conclusions:The developed and validated LC-MS/MS method is sensitive and suitable for monitoring C and T in human plasma microsamples.

From Bed to Bench: Pre-analytical Stability of 29 Anti-infective Agents in Plasma and Whole Blood to Improve Accuracy of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring

Article

Author: Jaureguy, Françoise ; Lamy, Brigitte ; Magreault, Sophie ; Méchaï, Frédéric ; Akinotcho-Relouzat, Judith ; Pierredon, Dorine ; Jullien, Vincent

Background:Therapeutic drug monitoring requires a validated assay and appropriate conditions for sample shipment and storage based on the stability of the compound to be analyzed. This study evaluated the stability of 29 antimicrobial compounds in whole blood (WB) and plasma samples under various storage conditions.Methods:The pre-analytical stability of 22 antibiotics (amoxicillin, aztreonam, cefazolin, cefepime, cefotaxime, cefoxitin, ceftazidime, ceftobiprole, ceftolozane, ceftriaxone, ciprofloxacin, clindamycin, cloxacillin, daptomycin, levofloxacin, linezolid, meropenem, metronidazole, moxifloxacin, piperacillin, sulfamethoxazole, and trimethoprim), 2 beta-lactamase inhibitors (avibactam, tazobactam), and 5 antituberculosis drugs (ethambutol, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, rifabutin, and rifampicin) was assessed by WB for up to 24 hours at room temperature (RT) and 72 hours at +4°C. The stability in plasma was evaluated for up to 6 hours at RT, 24 hours at +4°C, 1 month at −20°C, and 6 months at −80°C.Results:Concerning WB stability, all investigated compounds were stable for 24 hours at RT, except meropenem and isoniazid, which were stable for 6 hours; however, for 24 hours at +4°C, all the compounds were stable. For storage durations of 48 and 72 hours at +4°C, all compounds were stable, except for ciprofloxacin, cotrimoxazole, and isoniazid. Concerning stability in plasma, all compounds were stable for 6 hours at RT, and all except isoniazid were stable for 24 hours at +4°C. All the tested compounds were stable for 7 days at −20°C, except isoniazid, for which a degradation of approximately 20% was observed. An important degradation was observed for beta-lactam antibiotics after 1 month at −20°C. All compounds were stable at −80°C for 6 months.Conclusions:The pre-analytical stabilities of several anti-infective compounds was described. The present results can be used to determine the appropriate conditions for shipping and storing samples dedicated to therapeutic drug monitoring of the investigated compounds.

In-silico screening of Acacia pennata and Bridelia retusa reveals pinocembrin-7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside as a promising β-lactamase inhibitor to combat antibiotic resistance

Article

Author: Yu, Han ; Abdalla, Mohnad ; Zothantluanga, James H. ; Umar, Abd. Kakhar ; Modafer, Yosra ; Al-Hoshani, Nawal ; Roy, Dhritiman

The β-lactamase of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is known to degrade β-lactam antibiotics such as penicillins, cephalosporins, monobactams, and carbapenems. With the discovery of an extended-spectrum β-lactamase in a clinical isolate of P. aeruginosa, the bacterium has become multi-drug resistant. In this study, we aim to identify new β-lactamase inhibitors by virtually screening a total of 43 phytocompounds from two Indian medicinal plants. In the molecular docking studies, pinocembrin-7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (P7G) (-9.6 kcal/mol) from Acacia pennata and ellagic acid (EA) (-9.2 kcal/mol) from Bridelia retusa had lower binding energy than moxalactam (-8.4 kcal/mol). P7G and EA formed 5 (Ser62, Asn125, Asn163, Thr209, and Ser230) and 4 (Lys65, Ser123, Asn125, and Glu159) conventional hydrogens bonds with the active site residues. 100 ns MD simulations revealed that moxalactam and P7G (but not EA) were able to form a stable complex. The binding free energy calculations further revealed that P7G (-59.6526 kcal/mol) formed the most stable complex with β-lactamase when compared to moxalactam (-46.5669 kcal/mol) and EA (-28.4505 kcal/mol). The HOMO-LUMO and other DFT parameters support the stability and chemical reactivity of P7G at the active site of β-lactamase. P7G passed all the toxicity tests and bioavailability tests indicating that it possesses drug-likeness. Among the studied compounds, we identified P7G of A. pennata as the most promising phytocompound to combat antibiotic resistance by potentially inhibiting the β-lactamase of P. aeruginosa.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

What can pharma companies do to get promising antimicrobials to the frontlines of drug resistance?

According to the report, the race to create antibiotics and antifungals to conquer superbugs is falling perilously short, which the authors say is putting people across the world at risk. However, a shift in research and development (R&D), including investment in access and stewardship planning, can make a significant impact against antimicrobial resistance (AMR). As most large research-based pharmaceutical companies are no longer active in antimicrobial research and development (R&D), there are very few new treatments making it to market, leaving patients vulnerable to the rapid spread of AMR. Despite this reality, a handful of projects in late-stage clinical development could have a significant impact. Difficult-to-treat invasive, rare fungal mold infections The foundation is tracking five drugs which include gepotidacin, a small molecule commercialized by GSK with a leading phase 3 program in urinary tract infections and F2G’s olorofim, a first of the new orotomide class of antifungals in development for the treatment of difficult-to-treat invasive, rare fungal mold infections. Innoviva’s zoliflodacin is another treatment being tracked and is said to be one of the most promising new treatments for gonorrhoeae currently in phase 3 clinical trials. According to a report in Nature Scientific Reports, studies have found very little resistance to the drug currently circulating in strains, and in-vitro experiments demonstrated that it is difficult to induce resistance. Venatorx’s cefepime-taniborbactam is also under the foundation’s radar. The beta-lactam/beta-lactamase inhibitor (BL/BLI) combination antibiotic is being developed for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections and hospital acquired bacterial pneumonia. googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display('text-ad1'); }); Pfizer's recently approved aztreonam-avibactam (Emblaveo) is the first β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor antibiotic combination approved in the European Union for treating serious infections in adult patients caused by multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria, including metallo-β-lactamase-producing bacteria. Emblaveo was reviewed under European Medicines Agency accelerated assessment procedure, used when a pharmaceutical product is of major interest for public health and therapeutic innovation. People living on the frontlines of drug resistance Collectively, these projects could save at least 160,000 lives annually by providing much-needed medicines to treat drug-resistant gonorrhoea, urinary tract infections, intra-abdominal infections, respiratory infections, and invasive fungal infections. While these diseases affect a wide range of patients globally, women and children- especially those living in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs)- are disproportionately affected. Jayasree Iyer, CEO, at the Access to Medicine Foundation, said: “We have a small, but effective, arsenal in the race to combat drug-resistant infections. The difference between us winning or losing this race depends on how companies enable access to people living on the frontlines of drug resistance.” The foundation said that findings reveal that companies are employing diverse range of strategies within their access and stewardship plans but structured advance planning has not yet become standard. Encouragingly, it said, four of the five companies in scope, GSK, Pfizer, Innoviva, and Venatorx, are conducting or initiating clinical trials that directly target children, signalling progress in closing the gap between adult and paediatric access. Tackling the sheer scale and pace of drug resistance Commitments for registration were identified in five LMICs: China, India, Mexico, South Africa, and Thailand. However, for 108 of 113 LMICs in scope, where people also face high burdens of the diseases targeted by these projects, it is currently unclear whether any of them will be made available upon initial approval. The report identifies opportunities and recommendations for companies in focus and outlines actionable steps for global stakeholders in antimicrobial R&D to promote widespread adoption of advance access and stewardship planning. Marijn Verhoef, director of operations and research, at the Access to Medicine Foundation, said: “Tackling the sheer scale and pace of drug resistance is a complex global health issue that will require action from pharmaceutical companies across several areas. This includes providing appropriate access and implementing stewardship measures to safeguard the effectiveness of innovative antimicrobials. Failure to do this will limit efforts to tackle drug resistance.” The foundation added that as global health stakeholders prepare for 2024 UN General Assembly's High-level Meeting on AMR, this report comes at a crucial moment, emphasising the urgent gaps that need attention.

Venatorx Pharmaceuticals Announces Changes to Executive Leadership

MALVERN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Venatorx Pharmaceuticals, a private, pre-commercial pharmaceutical company focused on improving health outcomes for patients with multidrug-resistant bacterial infections and hard-to-treat viral infections, announced today several changes to its executive leadership team. Manos Perros, PhD, has been appointed to the Board of Directors as Executive Chairman. Dr. Perros is a distinguished pharmaceutical and biotech executive with an impressive track record that includes more than 25 years in life sciences research and development. He was previously Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Entasis Therapeutics, where he successfully positioned the company as a leader in the antimicrobial space, resulting in its acquisition by Innoviva in 2022. While at Entasis, Dr. Perros oversaw the development of Xacduro, which recently earned U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval as the first targeted treatment for Acinetobacter baumannii pneumonia. Prior to founding Entasis, Dr. Perros held the positions of Vice President and Head of AstraZeneca’s Infection Research and Early Development organization and Site Head for AstraZeneca’s Boston R&D research center. Dr. Perros also served as Director of the Novartis Institute for Tropical Diseases in Singapore, and Vice-President and Chief Scientific Officer, Antivirals, at Pfizer, where he led an R&D program that culminated in the approval of Selzentry, a first-in-class treatment for HIV. Dr. Perros’ appointment follows the resignation of Christopher J. Burns, Ph.D., who has stepped down as Chief Executive Officer and Director of Venatorx Pharmaceuticals. Additionally, Tomas J. Heyman has stepped down as Non-Executive Chairman of the Board. “On behalf of the entire Company, I would like to personally thank Chris for his dedication and tireless perseverance to lead Venatorx for over 14 years as an innovative pioneer in the fight against anti-microbial resistance. The Board of Directors sincerely appreciates his contributions along with the endless support and leadership that have guided the Company toward achieving its mission. I am delighted to join Venatorx Pharmaceuticals and to have an opportunity to help advance cefepime-taniborbactam through regulatory review and toward FDA approval to address the growing unmet need for novel treatments for patients suffering from multi-drug resistant gram-negative bacterial infections,” Dr. Perros said. “As recent Phase III data in The New England Journal of Medicine established, cefepime-taniborbactam met the primary noninferiority efficacy endpoint and demonstrated statistical superiority to meropenem for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections (cUTIs), including acute pyelonephritis, while having a similar safety pro meropenem. This therapy has enormous potential and may represent a significant improvement over the standard of care that could support global health efforts to combat antibiotic-resistant infections for patients around the world.” About Venatorx Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
