Pharmacodynamics

Bedaquiline is primarily subjected to oxidative metabolism leading to the formation of N-monodesmethyl metabolite (M2). M2 is not thought to contribute significantly to clinical efficacy given its lower average exposure (23% to 31%) in humans and lower antimycobacterial activity (4 to 6-fold lower) compared to the parent compound. M2 concentrations appeared to correlate with QT prolongation. Bedaquiline inhibits mycobacterial TB at a minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) from 0.002-0.06 μg/ml and with a MIC50 of 0.03 μg/ml. Furthermore, bacteria that have smaller ATP stores (usually in dormant, nonreplicating bacilli) are more susceptible to bedaquiline.

Mechanism of action

Bedaquiline is a diarylquinoline antimycobacterial drug that inhibits the proton pump of mycobacterial ATP (adenosine 5'-triphosphate) synthase, an enzyme that is essential for the generation of energy in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Bacterial death occurs as a result of bedaquiline.

TargetActionsOrganism
AATP synthase subunit c
inhibitor
Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Absorption

Tmax, oral dose = 5 hours; Food increases the oral bioavailability. AUC increases proportionally up to the highest dose studied in healthy volunteers. When 400 mg of bedaquiline is administered once daily for a week, the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) is 5.5 μg/ml and an AUC of 64.75 μgh/ml.

Volume of distribution

Vd, central compartment = 164 L

Protein binding

>99.9 bound to plasma proteins.

Metabolism

Bedaquiline is hepatically metabolized. The main enzyme involved is CYP3A4 which metabolizes bedaquiline into the N-monodesmethyl metabolite (M2). This metabolite is 4 to 6-times less active in terms of antimycobacterial potency.

Route of elimination

Bedaquiline is primarily elimination in the feces. The urinary excretion of unchanged bedaquiline was < 0.001% of the dose in clinical studies, indicating that renal clearance of unchanged drug is insignificant.

Half-life

Terminal elimination half-life, bedaquiline and M2 = 5.5 months. This long half-life suggests slow release of bedaquiline and M2 from peripheral tissues.

Description
This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as stilbenes. These are organic compounds containing a 1,2-diphenylethylene moiety. Stilbenes (C6-C2-C6 ) are derived from the common phenylpropene (C6-C3) skeleton building block. The introduction of one or more hydroxyl groups to a phenyl ring lead to stilbenoids.

General Function
F(1)F(0) ATP synthase produces ATP from ADP in the presence of a proton or sodium gradient. F-type ATPases consist of two structural domains, F(1) containing the extramembraneous catalytic core and F(0) containing the membrane proton channel, linked together by a central stalk and a peripheral stalk. During catalysis, ATP synthesis in the catalytic domain of F(1) is coupled via a rotary mechanism of the central stalk subunits to proton translocation.
