Cadazolid is a new antibiotic in development for the treatment of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea. Cadazolid is active against all (including linezolid- and moxifloxacin-resistant) Clostridium difficile strains (MIC90 0.125, range 0.03-0.25 mg/L). The cadazolid geometric mean MIC is 152-fold, 16-fold, 9-fold and 7-fold lower than those of moxifloxacin, linezolid, metronidazole and vancomycin, respectively. Both cadazolid dosing regimens rapidly reduce Clostridium difficile viable counts and cytotoxin with no evidence of recurrence.

Cell lines | C. difficile |
Preparation method | Experiments to assess the effects of cadazolid and comparator antibiotics on C. difficile toxin formation were done by determination of toxin A and B concentrations in stationary-phase cultures of toxigenic C. difficile |
Concentrations | 0.3% (vol/vol) DMSO |
Incubation time | 24 h |

Animal models | Hamster model of CDAD |
Formulation | 0.5% [wt/wt] methylcellulose containing 0.05% [wt/vol] Tween 80 |
Dosages | 10 mg/kg |
Administration | gavage |
Species | Mouse | Rat | Rabbit | Guinea pig | Hamster | Dog |
Weight (kg) | 0.02 | 0.15 | 1.8 | 0.4 | 0.08 | 10 |
Body Surface Area (m2) | 0.007 | 0.025 | 0.15 | 0.05 | 0.02 | 0.5 |
Km factor | 3 | 6 | 12 | 8 | 5 | 20 |
Animal A (mg/kg) = Animal B (mg/kg) multiplied by | Animal B Km |
Animal A Km |
For example, to modify the dose of Compound A used for a mouse (20 mg/kg) to a dose based on the BSA for a rat, multiply 20 mg/kg by the Km factor for a mouse and then divide by the Km factor for a rat. This calculation results in a rat equivalent dose for Compound A of 10 mg/kg.
