4 Surprise Beginnings H 3 C O C 2 H 5 alidixic Acid COOH

5 Quinolones The irst Decade (Childhood) 1962 Discovery of alidixic Acid as antibacterial byproduct of chloroquine synthesis (Lesher) Mechanisms of Action Defined (Goss, Dietz, Cook)» Inhibition of DA synthesis » Conditional bactericidal activity alidixic Acid released for clinical use for treatment of urinary tract infections caused by enteric bacteria Resistance to alidixic Acid in E. coli mapped to chromosomal mutations (nala,b) (Hane)

6 Quinolones The Second Decade (Adolescence) 1970 Development of Piromidic Acid, the 1st pyrrolindinyl quinolone 1975 Development of Pipemidic Acid, the 1st piperazinyl quinolone 1976 Discovery of DA gyrase, the 1st type 2 topoisomerase (Gellert) 1976 Development of lumequine, the 1st fluoroquinolone and tricyclic quinolone 1977 alidixic Acid resistance loci identified as encoding mutant subunits of DA gyrase of E. coli (Gellert, Cozzarelli)

13 Quinolones - The ourth Decade (Adulthood) Identification of topoisomerase IV as principal quinolone target in S. aureus and secondary target in E. coli Levofloxacin PO/IV and sparfloxacin PO released in US (expanded Gram+ respiratory indications) Grepafloxacin PO (Respiratory/GU Indications) and Trovafloxacin PO/IV (broadest indications, 1st anti-anaerobic quinolone) released in US

15 Quinolones - The ourth Decade (Adults Have Their Ups & Downs) Plasmid transferable quinolone resistance identified Trovafloxacin use restricted due to rare but severe hepatotoxicity (? Legacy of temafloxacin) Grepafloxacin withdrawn because of cardiac events. Sparfloxacin also associated with arrhythmias Gatifloxacin PO/IV and Moxifloxacin PO released with a focus on respiratory tract indications

16 Rare, Serious Idiosyncratic Reactions Temafloxacin (1992) Hemolytic uremic syndrome Coagulopathy (35%) Hepatic dysfunction (51%) Reporting incidence ~1:6000 Trovafloxacin (1999) Symptomatic hepatitis Life-threatening in ~10% Reporting incidence ~1:18,000 Blum MD et al Clin Infect Dis 18:946 Ball P et al Drug Safety 21:407

26 Quinolones The Sixth Decade Senescence or ew Generations to ollow The Search Goes On Keys to success: Dealing with established resistance Low potential for new resistance High tolerability (no surprises better preclinical screening tools)

27 Problems With Development of Bacterial Resistance to luoroquinolones Staphylococci (MRSA, MRSE) 60-95% Pseudomonas aeruginosa 5-30% Campylobacter jejuni 3-50% Escherichia coli 8-26% eisseria gonorrheae 6-70% Streptococcus pneumoniae 3%

28 Predicting Resistance Potential: (Which Quinolone Will Live the Longest?) Determinants of bacterial resistance Activity against both target enzymes, DA gyrase and DA topoisomerase IV Effects of native bacterial efflux systems Potency that keeps drug concentrations above the MIC of first-step resistant mutants (mutant prevention concentration)
