Bioactivity | Voxvoganan (LTX-109) trihydrochloride, a topical antimicrobial, is highly effective against S. aureus with a MIC range of 2 to 4 μg/mL. Voxvoganan trihydrochloride can be used for the research of bacterial skin infections, fungal infections and nasal decolonisation of MRSA[1][2]. |
Invitro | Voxvoganan trihydrochloride (LTX-109) is an investigational antimicrobial agent with a membrane-lysing mechanism of action, based on the biological principle of innate immune effectors, lytic peptides. Voxvoganan trihydrochloride has a rapid bactericidal lytic activity. Voxvoganan trihydrochloride demonstrates in vitro bactericidal activity against a number of S. aureus isolates resistant to several classes of antimicrobial agents evaluated in this study[2].Voxvoganan trihydrochloride (LTX-109) is a broad-spectrum, fast-acting bactericidal antimicrobial agent that binds to negatively charged membrane components on the bacterial cell wall, which leads to membrane disruption and cell lysis. Voxvoganan trihydrochloride is a first-in-class chemically synthesized, small peptide drug that is stable against protease degradation. Topical application of Voxvoganan trihydrochloride has a good safety profile and a low bioavailability. Voxvoganan trihydrochloride demonstrates good activity against Staphylococcus aureus strains that are susceptible and resistant to mupirocin[3]. |
