Ranbezolid (hydrochloride)

Ranbezolid (RBx7644 free base) is an orally active, oxazolidinone antibiotic against Gram-positive and Gram-negative anaerobes including Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Bacteroides fragilis. Ranbezolid can inhibit the 50s ribosomal subunit with an IC50 of 17 μM for bacterial ribosomes. Ranbezolid interferes cell wall and lipid synthesis. Ranbezolid can rapidly kill bacteria, significantly reduce bacterial load, and has better cardiovascular safety. Ranbezolid can be used for the study of antibiotics for anaerobic bacteria[1][2][3].
