Drug Overview
Omadacycline (Paratek Pharmaceuticals) is the first agent of the aminomethycyclines class of antibiotics. The drug, which is a semisynthetic derivative of the tetracycline minocycline, exerts its antibacterial effect by binding to the tetracycline binding sites on bacterial ribosomes, leading to the inhibition of bacterial protein synthesis. Omadacycline has an antibacterial spectrum that covers a range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial pathogens. It has demonstrated potent in vitro activity against a number of significant respiratory pathogens such as Streptococcus pneumonia, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis. The drug was also active against bacterial strains with tetracycline and penicillin resistance.
