Bedaquiline is a drug used to treat tuberculosis ( tuberculostatic ). It is used in particular in combination therapies against multi-resistant tuberculosis bacteria .
Chemically, it is a compound from the group of diarylquinolines .
history
Bedaquiline was approved in the USA at the end of 2012 and in the EU in 2014 , making it the first new tuberculostatic drug in decades. Rifabutin was last added in Germany in 1994.
Bedaquiline emerged from a screening program with more than 70,000 compounds. In 2015, the researchers Koen Andries and Jérôme Guillemont received the European Inventor Award for this .
properties
Bedaquiline has two stereogenic centers . Investigations of the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of the various isomers showed that the (1 R , 2 S ) stereoisomer (= bedaquiline) was the most effective (its MIC against Mycobacterium tuberculosis was between 0.03 and 0.12 µg / ml; the MIC 90 was 0.06 µg / ml. In comparison, the MIC 90 for the (1 S , 2 R ) isomer was 8.8 µg / ml, that of the mixture of both 1.8 µg / ml and that of the (1 R , 2 R / 1 S , 2 S ) -diastereomer mixture 44 µg / ml). This in-vitro finding is the same as that from computer-aided attachment models. Enantiomerically pure bedaquiline is obtained by controlled crystallization using an enantiomeric organophosphate as the conclusion of the multi-stage synthesis, in which a mixture of the stereoisomers is first formed.
The salt (1: 1) of fumaric acid , bedaquiline fumarate , is used medicinally . The substance is a white to almost white, non-hygroscopic powder that is practically insoluble in aqueous media over a wide pH range , but soluble in a number of organic solvents.
Mechanism of action
Bedaquiline inhibits the ATP synthase of mycobacteria by binding to the c-subunit of the enzyme. The ATP synthase is an important enzyme in the cellular energy metabolism of the mycobacteria. Their inhibition leads to bactericidal effects in both dividing and non-dividing pathogens. Bedaquiline is the only therapeutically used antibiotic with this mechanism of action. The minimum inhibitory concentration ( MIC ) for M. tuberculosis are 0.03 μg / mL (for the MIC 50 ) and 0.06 μg / mL (for the MIC 90 ).
Pharmacokinetics
The main route of degradation is N - demethylation by CYP3A4 . It is assumed that the resulting metabolite (M2) does not contribute significantly to the effectiveness. Bedaquiline is excreted in the faeces .
Side effects
Bedaquiline is both hepato- and cardiotoxic in that it increases liver enzymes ( AST , ALT ) and bilirubin , and increases the QT interval in the heart . The most common side effects observed in the studies were nausea , arthralgia , headache, vomiting, and dizziness.
