Avibactam sodium

Avibactam sodium (NXL-104), a diazabicyclooctanone compound, is currently the most favoured novel β-lactamase inhibitor. Compared with the three marketed β-lactamase inhibitors, NXL-104 has a long duration of action and reversible covalent binding to the enzyme, and does not induce β-lactamase production.
Avibactam sodium and its free acid, avibactam, are diazabicyclooctane (DBO)–based, non-β-lactam β-lactamase inhibitors (BLIs) that are used to treat multi-drug–resistant Gram-negative bacterial pathogens. The compounds were jointly developed by Actavis Generics (now part of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries) and AstraZeneca.In 2015, avibactam sodium, in combination with ceftazidime, a cephalosporin antibiotic, was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. The dual-drug’s target was complex urinary tract and intra-abdominal infections caused by Gram-negative, often hospital-acquired, bacteria.In 2018, in the continuing quest to combat multi-drug–resistant bacteria, Eric M. Gordon, Matthew A. J. Duncton, and Mark A. Gallop at Arixa Pharmaceuticals (Palo Alto, CA) prepared analogues of avibactam that are more orally available than the free acid or its salt.
ChEBI: Avibactam sodium is an organic sodium salt that is the monosodium salt of avibactam. Used in combination with ceftazidime pentahydrate for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections including pyelonephritis. It has a role as an EC 3.5.2.6 (beta-lactamase) inhibitor, an antibacterial drug and an antimicrobial agent. It contains an avibactam(1-).
