In Vivo Activity of HSR-903, a New Fluoroquinolone, against Respiratory Pathogens

ABSTRACT The in vivo activity of HSR-903, a new fluoroquinolone, against major bacteria which cause respiratory tract infections was evaluated. HSR-903 was active against experimental respiratory tract infections in mice challenged with penicillin-susceptible and penicillin-resistantStreptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae strains. Treatment with HSR-903 reduced the bacterial numbers in infected murine lungs. In accord with the pulmonary clearance results, the rates of survival for mice treated with HSR-903, sparfloxacin, levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and benzylpenicillin were 50, 30, 10, 0, and 0%, respectively, 14 days after being infected with penicillin-resistant S. pneumoniae. A pharmacokinetic study with pneumonic mice showed that the levels of HSR-903 in the lungs were seven to eight times higher than those in the plasma. These results indicate that clinical studies of HSR-903 against respiratory tract infections may be warranted.
