Sutezolid: A promising next generation tuberculosis agent
Sutezolid (PNU-100480) is an advanced oxazolidinone antibiotic that shows strong effectiveness against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, including those tough multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) strains. It works by blocking bacterial protein synthesis, specifically by attaching to the 23S rRNA of the 50S ribosomal subunit, which ...

Population Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Analysis of the Bactericidal Activities of Sutezolid (PNU-100480) and Its Major Metabolite against Intracellular Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Ex Vivo Whole-Blood Cultures of Patients with Pulmonary Tuberculosis [PDF]
ABSTRACT Sutezolid (PNU-100480 [U-480]) is an oxazolidinone antimicrobial being developed for the treatment of tuberculosis. An active sulfoxide metabolite (PNU-101603 [U-603]), which reaches concentrations in plasma several times those of the parent, has been reported to drive the killing of extracellular ...

Advances of capillary electrophoresis enantioseparations in pharmaceutical analysis (2017–2020)
Abstract Capillary electrophoresis is a powerful technique for the analysis of polar chiral compounds and has been widely accepted for analytical enantioseparations of drug compounds in pharmaceuticals and biological media. In addition, many mechanistic studies have been conducted in an attempt to rationalize enantioseparations in combination with ...
