Mode of action summary
• Arenicin acts at least partly due to non-lipid Amediated penetration and disruption of both Gram
negative membranes
• Inhibition of cytosolic processes in protein synthesis
suggested in TraDIS studies
• Arenicins mode of action is different from Colistins
Confidential
4
Arenicin interacts with the lipid transporter
protein MLAC
•
MlaC is a periplasmic binding protein
maintaining phospholipid homeostasis of
the dual cell membrane
•
Gene analysis of E.coli shows that an
MlaC L11R mutation is required to
prevent the interaction between Arenicin
and MlaC
•
Resistant strains regain sensitiviy to
Arenicin as mutant is not stable

Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic summary
•
•
•
•
Arenicin efficacy is driven by Cmax
Clinical therapy should thus be based on slow bolus injection
Hepatic clearance does not seem to play a role
AA139 has a good volume of distribution corresponding to
the extracellular volume
• AA139 has a half life of 4.3 hours
• AA139 has a low penetration into ELF (<5%)
Confidential
13
PK/PD dose fractionation study shows that Cmax
drives the efficacy of Arenicin (NZ17230)
(5mg/kg over 3 days seems to exert maximal effect)
