Tedizolid Phosphate molecular structure

Tedizolid Phosphate

Also known as: Sivextro, Sivextro IV

CAS Number: 856867-55-5

Second-generation oxazolidinone antibacterial (prodrug)

Mechanism of Action

Tedizolid phosphate is a water-soluble phosphate ester prodrug rapidly cleaved by plasma phosphatases to the active moiety tedizolid. Tedizolid binds the 23S rRNA of the 50S ribosomal subunit and prevents assembly of the functional 70S initiation complex, halting protein synthesis at the earliest step. Its D-ring hydroxymethyl and additional binding contacts preserve activity against many linezolid-resistant strains carrying the cfr gene.
