Moxifloxacin: Rationale for Development
Rationale for Development • Respiratory tract infections still account for significant morbidity and mortality • Drug resistance has increased over time, underscoring evolutionary adaptiveness of microorganisms • New antibiotics and a change in selection/use may be needed to alter these trends • Potent, new fluoroquinolones should have an important place in the management of infectious diseases

Rationale for the Design of Moxifloxacin Increased knowledge of quinolone structure-activity relationship facilitates rational design, providing for: • Excellent Gram-negative coverage plus enhanced Gram-positive, atypical and anaerobe activity • Innovative approach to resistance in terms of efflux and mechanisms of action • Optimal pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (i.e., selection of appropriate dose) • Favorable safety profile

Moxifloxacin and Drug Resistance
Mechanisms of Resistance and Quinolones Mutations in the norA gene that upregulate membrane-associated drug efflux pump • Despite increased antibiotic efflux from norA-containing S. pneumoniae and S. aureus, moxifloxacin MICs remain identical to wild type Mutations in topoisomerase IV (grlA and grlB) and DNA gyrase (gyrA and gyrB) • Simultaneous independent mutations in both grlA and gyrA are required to increase moxifloxacin MICs; even when this occurs, MICs are still near clinically observed Cmin

No Development of Moxifloxacin Resistance in Rat Granuloma Pouch Model Dalhoff. Moxifloxacin in Practice. P 81, 1999. Dosing regimens: 100 mg/kg/day starting 1 h postinfect; 100 mg/kg/day, starting 24 h postinfection; 50 mg/kg/day, starting 24 h postinfection. MICs for each dosing regimenwere the same.
Moxifloxacin: Minimization of the Emergence of Resistance Summary • Targeting of both DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV has been achieved • Minimization of resistance has been demonstrated in: • in vitro: minimal changes in MIC under selective pressure, in contrast to levofloxacin. • animal studies: no emergence of resistance in rat granuloma pouch model. • These important results are achieved via the methoxy at C-8 (significantly delays the selection of resistance), and the bicyclic amine at C-7 (minimizes drug efflux)
