Solithromycin (formerly known as CEM-101 and OP-1068) is a ketolide antibiotic undergoing clinical development for the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP)[1] and other infections.[2]

Solithromycin exhibits excellent in vitro activity against a broad spectrum of Gram-positive respiratory tract pathogens,[3][4] including macrolide-resistant strains.[5] Solithromycin has activity against most common respiratory Gram-(+) and fastidious Gram-(-) pathogens,[6][7] and is being evaluated for its utility in treating gonorrhea.

Structure

X-ray crystallography studies have shown solithromycin, the first fluoroketolide in clinical development, has a third region of interactions with the bacterial ribosome,[14] as compared with two binding sites for other ketolides.

The only currently marketed ketolide, telithromycin, suffers from rare, but serious side effects. Recent studies[15] have shown this to be likely due to the presence of the aniline-triazole group of the telithromycin side chain acting as an antagonist towards various nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.
