Pharmacological action

Antimicrobial, It refers to a class of oxazolidinone. The mechanism of action of the drug due to selective inhibition of protein synthesis in bacteria. By binding to the bacterial ribosome linezolid prevents functional 70S initiation complex, which is a component of the translation process of protein synthesis in.

Preparation active against aerobic Gram-positive bacteria: Corynebacterium jeikeium, Enterococcus faecalis (including glycopeptide-resistant strains), Enterococcus faecium (including glycopeptide-resistant strains), Enterococcus casseliflavus, Enterococcus hens, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus (including methicillin-resistant strains), Staphylococcus aureus (strains with intermediate susceptibility to glycopeptides), Staphylococcus epidermidis (including methicillin-resistant strains), Staphylococcus haemolyticus, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus intermedius, Streptococcus pneumoniae (including strains with intermediate susceptibility to penicillin and penicillin-resistant strains of), Streptococcus spp. (стрептококки групп C и G), Streptococcus pyrogenes, Streptococcus viridans; Aerobic Gram-negative bacteria: Pasteurella canis, Pasteurella multocida; anaerobic gram-positive bacteria: Clostridium perfringens, Peptostreptococcus spp. (incl. Peptostreptococcus anaerobius); anaerobic gram-negative bacteria: Bacteroides fragilis, Prevotella spp.; Chlamydia pneumoniae.

C drug moderately sensitive Legionella spp., Moraxella catarrhalis, Mycoplasma spp.

C drug resistant Haemophilus influenzae, Neisseria spp., Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas spp.

There was no cross-resistance between Zyvox® and aminoglycosides, beta-lactam antibiotics, folic acid antagonists, glycopeptides, linkozamidami, xinolonami, rifamiцinami, Streptogramin, Tetracycline, chloramphenicol unnecessarily. mechanism of action is different from linezolid mechanisms of action of these antibacterials.

Resistance against the Zyvox® It develops slowly through a multi-step mutations 23S ribosomal RNA and occurs at a frequency of less than 1x10-9-1x10-11.

In vitro постантибиотический эффект Зивокса® is about 2 ч для Staphylococcus aureus, live (in animal studies) – 3.6 and h 3.9 ч для Staphylococcus aureus и Staphylococcus pneumoniae, respectively.

 

Pharmacokinetics

The active ingredient of the drug Zyvox® It is (s)-linezolid, which is biologically active and is metabolized in the body to inactive derivatives. Solubility of linezolid in water is about 3 mg / ml, and is not dependent on pH in the range 3-9.

The mean pharmacokinetic parameters (standard deviation) linezolid in healthy volunteers after single and repeated (until Css Linezolid blood) / in the introduction given in the tables.

SD – standard deviation

Averages Withmin, achieved when dosing regimen 600 mg 2 times / day, approximately equal to the highest values ​​of the IPC90 Least sensitive microorganisms.

Distribution

Linezolid is rapidly distributed in the tissues with good perfusion. Vd when the Css in healthy volunteers averaging 40-50 l. Binding to plasma proteins is 31% and does not depend on the concentration of linezolid in the blood.

Metabolism

Established, Cytochrome P450 isoenzymes that are not involved in the metabolism of linezolid in vitro. Linezolid also inhibits the activity of clinically important cytochrome P450 isozymes (1A2, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 2E1, 3A4). Metabolic oxidation leads to the formation 2 inactive metabolites – gidroksiэtilglicina (It is a major metabolite in humans, and is formed as a result of non-enzymatic process) and aminoetoksiuksusnoy acid (formed in smaller amounts). Also described are other inactive metabolites.

Deduction

Linezolid shows, primarily, urine as gidroksietilglitsina (40%), aminoetoksiuksusnoy acid (10%) and unchanged drug (30-35%). Since feces excreted as gidroksietilglitsina (6%) and aminoetoksiuksusnoy acid (3%). Unchanged drug is hardly excreted in the feces.

Pharmacokinetics in special clinical situations

The pharmacokinetics of linezolid was studied after a single on / in a dose 10 mg / kg or 600 mg in children from birth to 17 years (including both full-term, and preterm infants), healthy teens (12-17 years) and children between the ages of 1 weeks before 12 years.

Pharmacokinetic parameters – average value (correlation coefficient,%) [minimum; maximum]) are shown in Table.

Cmax and Vd Linezolid is not dependent on the patient's age, while the clearance varies with the age of linezolid. Children between the ages of 1 weeks before 11 s largest clearance, wherein the AUC and T1/2 less, than in adults. With increasing age, clearance of linezolid gradually decreases, adolescence mean clearance values ​​are close to those in adults.

Children younger than 11 years, receiving the drug every 8 no, in adults and adolescents, receiving the drug every 12 no, marked similar average daily AUC values. Clearance linezolid higher in children and decreases with increasing age.

Pharmacokinetics of linezolid is not significantly altered in patients aged 65 and older.

Pharmacokinetic differences noted some women, expressed in a somewhat reduced Vd, reducing clearance approximately 20%, sometimes in higher concentrations in blood plasma. Since T1/2 linezolid in men and women were not significantly different, need to adjust the dose does not occur.

Patients with mild renal insufficiency, medium to severe dose adjustment is required, tk. there is no relationship between QA and elimination of the drug through the kidneys. Since 30% the dose is excreted within 3 h hemodialysis, patients, receiving similar treatment, linezolid should be given after dialysis.

Pharmacokinetics linezolid unchanged in patients with mild to moderate hepatic insufficiency, in connection with which there is no need to adjust the dose.

The pharmacokinetics in patients with severe hepatic impairment has not been studied. However, given the, linezolid is metabolized as a result of non-enzymatic process, it can be argued, liver function that does not significantly affect drug metabolism.
