PHARMACHOLOGIC EFFECT

Antibiotic group of phosphonic acid derivatives.

The bactericidal effect of phosphomycin is based on the disturbance at the early stages of peptidoglycan synthesis of the bacterial cell wall.
Penetrating into the microbial cell via D-glucose-6-phosphate transport systems, the drug irreversibly inhibits the uridine-diphospho-N-acetylglucosamine-3-0-enolpyruvattransferase (MurA) enzyme, which is involved in the synthesis of uridine-diphospho-N-acetylmuraminic acid from uridine - N-acetylglucosamine.
It is active against gram-positive aerobes: Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis (including some strains resistant to methicillin), Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus viridans, Streptococcus groups C, F, G, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Enterococcus faecalis, Bacillus anthracis;
Gram-negative aerobes: Aeromonas hydrophila, Citrobacter spp., Campylobacter jejuni, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter spp. (moderately sensitive), Haemophilus influenzae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella oxytoca, Morganella morganii (most strains are moderately sensitive), Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Neisseria meningitidis, Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris, Providencia rettgeri (moderately sensitive), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia marcescens, Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., Vibrio spp.(moderately sensitive), Yersinia enterocolitica; anaerobes: Actinomyces spp., Peptococcus spp., Peptostreptococcus spp., Fusobacterium spp., Veillonella spp.
The drug is moderately sensitive Clostridium perfringens, Prevotella spp.

The drug is resistant to Legionella spp., Borrelia spp., Listeria monocytogenes, Mycobacterium spp., Bacteroides spp., The majority of intracellular pathogens (Coxiella burnetii, Rickettsia spp., Chlamydia spp., Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Ureaplasma urealyticum).

The secondary resistance of microorganisms to Urophosfabol is rare.
A valuable property of the drug is the lack of cross-resistance with other antibacterial agents. It exhibits synergism in combination with beta-lactam antibiotics, aminoglycosides and vancomycin.
PHARMACOKINETICS

Distribution

15 minutes after intravenous administration of the drug at a dose of 500 mg and 1 g, serum phosphomycin concentration is 28 mg / L and 46 mg / L, respectively;
after 1 h they are halved. With a slow (within 30-40 min) infusion of large doses of the drug (4 g every 6 h) C max is more than 250 mg / l. In the intervals between administrations, the phosphomycin content in the plasma is not less than 20 mg / l.
The binding of phosphomycin to plasma proteins is low - 1%.

Due to its low molecular weight, phosphomycin is well distributed in many organs and tissues of the body.
Bactericidal concentrations are determined in the tissues of the lung, pleural fluid, peritoneal fluid, bile, subcutaneous fat, muscle, bones, synovial fluid, eye tissues, endocardial valvular valves. Rapidly penetrates the BBB. The concentration of the drug in the cerebrospinal fluid increases significantly with inflammation of the meninges. It penetrates and accumulates in phagocyte cells (neutrophils and macrophages). Passes through the placenta. In small concentrations excreted in breast milk.
Excretion

T 1/2 is, on average, 1.5-2 hours in adults and 0.69 to 1.04 hours, depending on the dose, in children.
The main way to excrete phosphomycin is renal (90-100% of the administered dose during the day). With the urine, the active form of the drug is displayed. A small part of the injected antibiotic is excreted with bile, however this way of elimination does not have a significant significance. Fosfomycin can be easily removed from the plasma during hemodialysis.
Pharmacokinetics in special clinical cases

In children with a slow (within 60 min) IV infusion at the rate of 25 mg / kg and 50 mg / kg after 30 minutes, the serum concentrations are 55.5 mg / l and 118.8 mg / l;
after 1 h - 34.2 mg / l and 89.7 mg / l, respectively.
