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.

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.
