Mechanism of Action

Targets

RNA polymerase ^[1]

In vitro
In vitro	Fidaxomicin acts as a RNA polymerase inhibitor by binding to the DNA template–RNA polymerase (RNAP) complex prior to the formation of the open RNAP-DNA complex in which transcription is initiated. Therefore this compound will inhibit protein synthesis. As a result, apoptosis is triggered in susceptible organisms such as C. difficile. ^[1]

In Vivo
In vivo	The minimum inhibitory concentration for 90% of organisms for fidaxomicin against C. difficile is 0.9978 to 2 μg/mL. This compound is not systemically absorbed as shown by a plasma concentrations below the lower limit of quantification after single-dose or multiple-dose. In contrast, fecal concentrations of this chemical are much higher and are concentration-dependent. Cmax = 2 hours; Tmax = 5.2 ng/mL; AUC = 14 ng•hr/mL. It is hydrolyzed by gastric acid or intestinal microsomes into a less active metabolite (OP-1118). The cytochrome enzyme system are not involved in the metabolism of this compound. ^[1]
