Quick facts
Marketed products
- daptomycin and gentamicin
- daptomycin (up to 14 days) · Infectious Disease
Daptomycin binds to bacterial cell membranes and causes rapid depolarization, leading to loss of essential ions and bacterial cell death. - Semi-Synthetic Penicillin · Infectious Disease
Semi-synthetic penicillins inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins and blocking peptidoglycan cross-linking.
Phase 3 pipeline
- Alviompan · Other

CB-183,315 is a selective inhibitor of bacterial protein synthesis that targets gram-positive pathogens by binding to the bacterial ribosome. - CXA-201 · Infectious Disease
CXA-201 is a novel antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by targeting the ribosome. - CXA-201 and metronidazole · Infectious Disease
CXA-201 is a non-absorbed topical antibiotic that works synergistically with metronidazole to treat bacterial infections, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract or as a topical agent. - Nafcillin (or equivalent) · Infectious Disease
Nafcillin is a beta-lactam antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins. - Tedizolid Phophate · Infectious Diseases
Tedizolid phosphate is an oxazolidinone antibiotic that inhibits protein synthesis in bacteria by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit. - Vancomycin (or equivalent) · Infectious Diseases
Vancomycin inhibits cell wall synthesis in Gram-positive bacteria by binding to the D-alanyl-D-alanine terminus of cell wall precursors.
