Description: Cefditoren Pivoxil is a semi-synthetic, broad-spectrum, beta-lactamase resistant, third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic with bactericidal activity. Cefditoren pivoxil is a prodrug that is rapidly hydrolyzed by intestinal esterases during absorption to the microbiologically active cefditoren, an active aminothiazolyl cephalosporin. Cefditoren inactivates penicillin binding proteins (PBPs) thereby interfering with peptidoglycan synthesis and inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis.

Biological target: Cefditoren Pivoxil (ME-1207) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria.
In vitro activity: Cefditoren was compared to cefaclor, cefixime, and penicillins against 1 435 recently isolated strains of streptococci (312 Streptococcus pneumoniae, 165 viridans group streptococci, 142 beta-haemolytic streptococci), Haemophilus influenzae (521 strains), and Moraxella catarrhalis (295 strains). Streptococcus pneumoniae and viridans group streptococci had penicillin nonsusceptible rates of 37.8 and 35.8%, respectively. Cefditoren (MIC(90) in microg/ml/% susceptible) activity against all tested H. influenzae (0.03/100) and M. catarrhalis (0.06-0.5/100) was comparable to cefixime and significantly greater than cefaclor. Cefditoren (MIC(90), 0.5 microg/ml) was 4- to 128-fold more active than comparison beta-lactams against the pneumoococci and was the most potent beta-lactam (including penicillin) versus beta-haemolytic streptococci. Cefditoren pharmacokinetics demonstrate a T(1/2) of 1.5-2 h and C(max) values of 2.8 and 4.6 microg/ml, respectively with 200 or 400 mg doses of cefditoren pivoxil; plasma concentrations exceed 1 microg/ml for 4 to 6 hours (33-50% of dosing interval). Consequently, a susceptible MIC of /= 18 and >/= 15 mm (5-microg disk) for all cited fastidious species tested. Categorical agreement between MIC and disk tests was 94.6 to 100% with a correlation coefficient (r) range of 0.50 to 0.90 for streptococci. H. influenzae intermethod comparison results using the same interpretive criteria were in complete agreement, but exhibited a low r = 0.39. Cefditoren clearly possesses the most potent activity among currently studied oral cephalosporins or penicillin against commonly isolated bacterial pathogens causing bronchitis, pneumonia, sinusitis, or pharyngitis and was active against nearly all penicillin-resistant streptococci at
In vivo activity: Groups of mice were challenged with a lethal dose of the corresponding strain and 1 h later antibiotic treatment was initiated, with administration at 8 h intervals for a total of 6 doses. Treatment with 50 mg/kg of cefditoren in animals infected with Strain 1 or 100 mg/kg in animals infected with Strain 2 produced 100% survival rates, while in those infected with Strain 3, the 100 mg/kg regimen only produced 60% survival (Tables 1 and 2). The highest cefditoren doses that produced the lowest survival rate (i.e, antibiotic non-protective doses - A-np) were 12.5 mg/kg for Strain 1 (0% survival) and 50 mg/kg for Strain 2 (0% survival) and 3 (20% survival). Cefditoren t>MIC values linked to high survival rates markedly decreased in pre-immunized animals and therefore with specific antibodies in the systemic circulation: from ≈35% (≈19% free) to ≈25% (≈15% free) for Strains 1 and 2, and from 27.3% (15.8% free) to 22.4% (12.7% free) for Strain 3. Overall, cefditoren t>MIC values linked to survival (90% for Strain 1 and 60% for Strains 2 and 3) in pre-immunized animals with the HS-np dilution were associated with <10% survival rates in non-immunized animals.
