DprE1-IN-4 exhibits acceptable pharmacokinetic property after p.o. and i.v., DprE1-IN-4 (oral administration, 50 mg/kg) exhibits high plasma exposure ((AUC)0-∞=657 ng·h/mL) and high maximum plasma concentration (Cmax=486 ng/mL). It exhibits oral bioavailability (F=7.9%) and is deemed worthy of further evaluation in?in vivo?efficacy studies[1].DprE1-IN-4 (oral gavage; 100 mg/kg; once daily; 3 weeks) showed potent?in vivo?activity, reducing the bacterial burden in the lungs by 2.02?log10?CFU compared with the untreated control group[1].
