OBJECTIVES: Metronidazole, a mainstay treatment for Clostridium difficile
infection (CDI), is often ineffective for severe CDI. Whilst this is thought to
arise from suboptimal levels of metronidazole in the colon due to rapid
absorption, empirical validation is lacking. In contrast, reutericyclin, an
antibacterial tetramic acid from Lactobacillus reuteri, concentrates in the
gastrointestinal tract. In this study, we modified metronidazole with
reutericyclin's tetramic acid motif to obtain non-absorbed compounds, enabling
assessment of the impact of pharmacokinetics on treatment outcomes. METHODS: A
series of metronidazole-bearing tetramic acid substituents were synthesized and
evaluated in terms of anti-C. difficile activities, gastric permeability, in vivo
pharmacokinetics, efficacy in the hamster model of CDI and mode of action.
RESULTS: Most compounds were absorbed less than metronidazole in cell-based
Caco-2 permeability assays. In hamsters, lead compounds compartmentalized in the
colon rather than the bloodstream with negligible levels detected in the blood,
in direct contrast with metronidazole, which was rapidly absorbed into the blood
and was undetectable in caecum. Accordingly, four leads were more efficacious
(P?0.05) than metronidazole in C. difficile-infected animals. Improved efficacy
was not due to an alternative mode of action, as the leads retained the mode of
action of metronidazole. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides the clearest empirical
evidence that the high absorption of metronidazole lowers treatment outcomes for
CDI and suggests a role for the tetramic acid motif for colon-specific drug
delivery. This approach also has the potential to lower systemic toxicity and
drug interactions of nitroheterocyclic drugs for treating
gastrointestine-specific diseases.
