| Bioactivity | Suvratoxumab (MEDI4893) is a long-acting, high-affinity humanized anti-α-toxin monoclonal antibody (IgG1κ type). Suvratoxumab potently neutralizes α-toxin, a key S. aureus virulence factor. Suvratoxumab improves survival and reduces lung injury in an immunocompromised mice model of pneumonia. Suvratoxumab also enhances the antibacterial activity of Vancomycin (HY-B0671) or Linezolid (HY-10394)[1][2][3]. |
| Target | α-toxin of S. aureus. |
| In Vivo | Suvratoxumab (5, 15, 45 mg/kg; i.p.; single) increases survival rates in an immunocompromised murine pneumonia model[1].Suvratoxumab (15 mg/kg; i.p.; single) prophylaxis reduces pulmonary damage and increases macrophage phagocytosis in mice[1].Suvratoxumab (15 mg/kg; i.p.; single) prophylaxis improves the effectiveness of antibiotic (vancomycin or linezolid) treatment in mice[1].
