• OPS-2071 is a novel quinolone antibacterial agent characterized by low oral absorption that reduces the risk of adverse events typical of fluoroquinolone class antibiotics. The and antibacterial activities of OPS-2071 against were evaluated in comparison to vancomycin and fidaxomicin. OPS-2071 exhibited potent antibacterial activity against 54 clinically isolated strains with a MIC of 0.125 μg/ml (MIC ) and 0.5 μg/ml (MIC ), making it more active than vancomycin on a concentration basis (MIC , 2 μg/ml; MIC , 4 μg/ml) and comparable to fidaxomicin (MIC , 0.063 μg/ml; MIC , 8 μg/ml). OPS-2071 showed equally potent antibacterial activity against both hypervirulent and nonhypervirulent strains, while a significant difference in susceptibility to fidaxomicin was observed. Spontaneous resistance to OPS-2071 and vancomycin was not observed; however, resistance to fidaxomicin was observed at 4× MIC. The mutant prevention concentration of OPS-2071 was 16-fold lower than those of fidaxomicin and vancomycin, and the postantibiotic effect of OPS-2071 was longer than those of fidaxomicin and vancomycin. Also, OPS-2071 showed low systemic exposure, with OPS-2071 having 2.9% oral bioavailability at 1 mg/kg in rats. Furthermore, OPS-2071 showed significant efficacy at 0.0313 mg/kg/day (50% effective doses), 39.0-fold and 52.1-fold lower than those of vancomycin and fidaxomicin, respectively, in a hamster model of infection. OPS-2071 has the potential to become a new therapeutic option for treating infection.
