Abstract
The pharmacokinetics and bone concentrations of oritavancin were investigated after a single intravenous dose was administered to rabbits. The pharmacokinetic profile of oritavancin in rabbits showed that it is rapidly distributed to bone tissues, with concentrations remaining stable for up to 168 h, the last measured time point. Based on these findings, further evaluation of oritavancin for the treatment of infections in bone tissues is warranted.

Abstract
A simple MEKC with UV detection at 214 nm for simultaneous analysis of cefepime and vancomycin in plasma and in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by direct injection without any sample pretreatment is described. The separation of cefepime and vancomycin from biological matrices was performed at 25 degrees C using a BGE consisting of a Tris buffer with SDS and methanol as the electrolyte solution. Under optimal MEKC conditions for biological samples, good separations with high efficiency and short analysis time are achieved. Several parameters affecting the separation of the drugs from biological matrices were studied, including methanol, pH, and concentrations of the Tris buffer and SDS. The linear ranges of the method for the determination of cefepime and vancomycin in plasma and in CSF using imidazole or cefazolin as an internal standard, respectively, were all over the range of 1-30 microg/mL; the detection limits of cefepime and vancomycin in biological matrices (injection 10 kV, 15 s) were 0.3 and 0.5 microg/mL, respectively. The applicability of the proposed method for the determination of cefepime and vancomycin in plasma and CSF collected after intravenous administration of the drugs in patients with meningitis was demonstrated.

Abstract
A new fast capillary electrophoretic method has been developed for the analysis of the glycopeptide antibiotic vancomycin in formulations. An electrophoretic run is completed within 3.0 min; fused silica capillaries (100 microm i.d., 8.5 cm effective length and 48.5 cm total length) and a background electrolyte consisting of 12.5 mM, pH 2.5 phosphate buffer are used. The applied voltage is -20.0 kV; samples are injected by pressure (30 mbar x 3 s) at the anodic end of the capillary. The method was successfully applied to innovative controlled release microparticles consisting of a coated albumin core containing vancomycin. A simple procedure has been developed to obtain complete vancomycin extraction from microparticles using a 5% (w/v) sodium dodecyl sulphate aqueous solution. The method has been validated in terms of linearity, precision and accuracy. Good linearity was found in the 0.25-5.00 microg/mL range. Satisfactory precision was obtained, with relative standard deviation values always lower than 3.9%; accuracy was satisfactory, with recovery values between 97.8 and 102.2%. The method is also suitable for vancomycin determination in commercial capsules.

Abstract
In this paper, we developed a sensitive and simple method to study the pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of norvancomycin (NVCM) in experimental animals by using CE with electrochemical detection. Pharmacokinetics investigation was performed by the collection of blood samples at timed intervals following administration of NVCM. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by the 3P87 pharmacokinetic program. The elimination half-life of NVCM was 42.4742 min with a clearance rate of 0.0233 mL x kg(-1) x min(-1). Additionally, drug distribution was studied by measuring the NVCM levels in kidney, lung, stomach, intestine, spleen, heart, liver, and cerebrum. Electrophoresis conditions such as buffer solution, working potential, separation voltage, and sampling time were also discussed. The linear range was from 0.8 to 540 microg/mL with a correlation coefficient of 0.9991. The detection limit was 0.3 microg/mL. This method was for the first time applied to study the pharmacokinetics and tissue distributions of NVCM in experimental animals.

Abstract
Liquid chromatography (LC) methods compatible with mass spectrometry (MS) that are suitable for impurity profiling of vancomycin mixtures have not been described in the literature. The mobile phases of the existing methods contain non-volatile additives and/or solvents that give problems in combination with MS. In this paper, a reversed-phase LC/tandem mass spectrometry method is described for the investigation of vancomycin and related substances. The LC method uses a Zorbax Extend C18 column (250 x 4.6 mm i.d.), 5 microm, and a mobile phase consisting of methanol, water and ammonium acetate solution (pH 9.0). This method allows us to separate vancomycin and its impurities. Mass spectral data are acquired on an LCQ ion trap mass spectrometer equipped with an electrospray interface operated in the positive and negative ion modes. The LCQ is ideally suited for identification of impurities and related substances because it provides on-line LC/MSn capability, which allows efficient identification without time-consuming isolation and purification procedures. Using this method, the fragmentation of vancomycin and known derivatives was studied and the structures of six substances occurring in commercial samples were elucidated.

Abstract
Using a rabbit model of meningitis, we sought to determine the efficacy of LY333328, a semisynthetic glycopeptide, in the treatment of cephalosporin-resistant pneumococcal meningitis. LY333328 was administered at a dose of 10 mg/kg of body weight/day, alone and in combination with ceftriaxone at 100 mg/kg/day with or without dexamethasone at 0.25 mg/kg/day. The therapeutic groups were treated with LY333328 with or without dexamethasone and LY333328-ceftriaxone with or without dexamethasone. Rabbits were inoculated with a cephalosporin-resistant pneumococcal strain (ceftriaxone MIC, 2 microg/ml; penicillin MIC, 4 microg/ml; LY333328 MIC, 0.008 microg/ml) and were treated over a 26-h period beginning 18 h after inoculation. The bacterial counts in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), the white blood cell count, the lactic acid concentration, the CSF LY333328 concentration, and bactericidal and bacteriostatic activities were determined at different time points. In vitro, LY333328 was highly bactericidal and its use in combination with ceftriaxone at one-half the MIC was synergistic. In the rabbit model, LY333328 alone was an excellent treatment for cephalosporin-resistant pneumococcal meningitis, with a rapid decrease in colony counts and no therapeutic failures. The use of LY333328 in combination with ceftriaxone improved the activity of LY333328, but no synergistic effect was observed. The combination of LY333328 with dexamethasone was also rapidly bactericidal, but two therapeutic failures were observed. The combination of LY333328 with ceftriaxone and dexamethasone was effective, without therapeutic failures.

Abstract
The current method prescribed in official monographs for the purity control of vancomycin is inappropriate in that several components are not separated from each other and other components are coeluted with the main component vancomycin B. The method uses an ODS column at pH 3.2. In this study, several changes were introduced in order to improve the separation. The optimization of the separation method at low pH indicated that pH 1.7 was optimum and that the use of dioxane as organic modifier drastically improved the separation. These conditions were used to test a set of more than 40 reversed-phase columns for their selectivity towards vancomycin components. The selection of the most suitable columns was performed by means of principal component analysis. Most of these columns did not allow the separation of didechlorovancomycin from monodechlorovancomycin 1. It was found that neutral to slightly alkaline mobile phases allowed better separation. Further optimization of the separation method and a robustness study were performed by means of experimental design. This optimization indicated that pH 7.7 was optimum and gradient elution was also used to effect complete analysis. The final method uses a Kromasil column and the mobile phase comprises dioxane, water and ammonium formate solution pH 7.7. The separation of monodechlorovancomycin 2 and of some unknown impurities from the main component vancomycin B is described for the first time. The method shows good repeatability, linearity and sensitivity.

Abstract
A chemically generated mutant of Staphylococcus aureus RN4220, GC6668, was isolated that had a fourfold increase in resistance to vancomycin. This phenotype reverted back to susceptibility by insertional mutagenesis with Tn917. In a selected set of revertants, Tn917 insertion was mapped to a unique chromosomal region upstream of mprF, a recently described gene that determines staphylococcal resistance to several host defense peptides. The genetic linkage between the vancomycin susceptibility and Tn917 insertion was then confirmed by transduction backcrosses into both GC6668 and GISA isolates, MER-S12 and HT2002 0127. Northern blot analysis, insertional inactivation and complementation experiments showed that mprF mediates vancomycin susceptibility in S. aureus. The inactivation of mprF by Tn917 insertion in HT2002 0127 caused a significant increase in the binding of vancomycin to the cell membranes. This observation serves as a likely mechanism of the increased vancomycin susceptibility associated with mprF inactivation.

Abstract
A fast and highly selective micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MEKC) method for quantitative analysis of vancomycin and related impurities is described. Among the tested surfactants, cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) offered the best selectivity. Another important parameter, which strongly influenced the selectivity, was buffer pH. It was found that the selectivity increased with buffer pH decreasing from 9 to 5. Using Tris-phosphate buffer containing CTAC, satisfactory separation could be obtained in the pH range from 5.0 to 5.5. Excellent repeatability in terms of migration time and peak area could be obtained when the capillary was carefully washed between two runs. In order to obtain optimal conditions and to evaluate the method robustness, a central composite experimental design was carried out. The optimal conditions were: 44 cm length of fused-silica capillary with 50 microm ID, 120 mM Tris-phosphate buffer (pH 5.2) containing 50 mM CTAC, -15 kV applied voltage, UV detection at 210 nm, and a column temperature of 25 degrees C. Under the optimal conditions, more than 20 peaks could be separated within 8 min. The method has a linearity range from 0.004 to 1.2 mg/ml (concentration of vancomycin B, active component). The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) were 0.4 microg/mL vancomycin, equivalent to 0.3 microg/mL vancomycin B (0.04%) and 1.1 microg/mL vancomycin, equivalent to 0.9 microg/mL vancomycin B (0.1%), respectively.

Abstract
We investigated the activity of LY333328 alone and combined with gentamicin, both in vitro and in a rabbit model of experimental endocarditis, against the susceptible strain Enterococcus faecalis JH2-2 and its two glycopeptide-resistant transconjugants, BM4316 (VanA) and BM4275 (VanB). MICs of LY333328 and gentamicin were 2 and 16 microgram/ml, respectively, for the three strains. In vitro, LY333328 alone was bactericidal at 24 h against JH2-2 at a concentration of 2 microgram/ml and against BM4316 and BM4275 at a concentration of 30 microgram/ml. The combination of LY333328 and gentamicin (4 microgram/ml) was synergistic and bactericidal after 24 h of incubation against the three strains at LY333328 concentrations of 2 microgram/ml for JH2-2 and 8 microgram/ml for BM4275 and BM4316. The combination of LY333328 and gentamicin was the only regimen demonstrating in vitro bactericidal activity against BM4316. In vivo, intravenous treatment with LY333328 alone, providing peak and trough serum levels of 83.3 +/- 1.3 and 3.8 +/- 0.2 microgram/ml, respectively, was inactive against BM4316 and BM4275 and selected mutants resistant to LY333328 in half of the rabbits infected with the VanA-type strain (MICs, 8 to 20 microgram/ml). However, the LY333328-gentamicin combination was active against the three strains and prevented the emergence of mutants resistant to both components of the combination. We conclude that the LY333328-gentamicin combination might be of interest for the treatment of enterococcal infections, particularly against VanA-type strains.

Abstract
The activity of LY333328 against Enterococcus faecalis JH2-2, which is susceptible to glycopeptides, and against its transconjugants E. faecalis BM4281 and BM4316, with VanB and VanA phenotypes, respectively, was investigated. LY333328 was active in vitro against the three strains, for which MICs were 2 microg/ml on agar and 0.25 microg/ml in broth. LY333328 was bactericidal in broth against E. faecalis JH2-2 and BM4281 at a concentration of 8 microg/ml and against BM4316 at a concentration of 30 microg/ml. The protein binding of LY333328 to rabbit serum was >99%, and the bactericidal activity of LY333328 in broth was reduced when it was tested in the presence of 90% rabbit serum. Autoradiographic studies performed in rabbits with enterococcal endocarditis showed that 14[C]LY333328 was distributed heterogeneously throughout cardiac vegetations. In rabbits with aortic endocarditis, a regimen of 20 mg of LY333328 per kg of body weight administered intramuscularly twice a day for 5 days after a loading dose of 40 mg/kg was active against the three strains in vivo (P < 0.01), whereas vancomycin was not active against the VanB-type strain and teicoplanin was not active against the VanA-type strain. We conclude that the activity of LY333328 is not significantly modified by acquired resistance to glycopeptides in E. faecalis either in vitro or in experimental endocarditis.

Abstract
The in vivo efficacy of LY333328, a new glycopeptide antibiotic, was compared with that of vancomycin by using the rabbit model of left-sided methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis. Animals received LY333328 or vancomycin (25 mg/kg of body weight every 24 or 8 h, respectively) for 4 days. These drugs were equally effective in clearing bacteremia and in reducing bacterial counts in vegetations and tissues. We conclude that in this model, LY333328 was microbiologically effective and may be a therapeutic alternative to vancomycin.

Abstract
A highly vancomycin-resistant mutant (MIC = 100 microg/ml) of Staphylococcus aureus, mutant VM, which was isolated in the laboratory by a step-pressure procedure, continued to grow and synthesize peptidoglycan in the presence of vancomycin (50 microg/ml) in the medium, but the antibiotic completely inhibited cell wall turnover and autolysis, resulting in the accumulation of cell wall material at the cell surface and inhibition of daughter cell separation. Cultures of mutant VM removed vancomycin from the growth medium through binding the antibiotic to the cell walls, from which the antibiotic could be quantitatively recovered in biologically active form. Vancomycin blocked the in vitro hydrolysis of cell walls by autolytic enzyme extracts, lysostaphin and mutanolysin. Analysis of UDP-linked peptidoglycan precursors showed no evidence for the presence of D-lactate-terminating muropeptides. While there was no significant difference in the composition of muropeptide units of mutant and parental cell walls, the peptidoglycan of VM had a significantly lower degree of cross-linkage. These observations and the results of vancomycin-binding studies suggest alterations in the structural organization of the mutant cell walls such that access of the vancomycin molecules to the sites of wall biosynthesis is blocked.

Abstract
A resistant mutant with vancomycin MIC of 100 micrograms/ml was isolated relatively easily through step pressure in the laboratory from a Staphylococcus aureus strain with initial MIC of 1.5 micrograms/ml for the antibiotic. Upon addition of vancomycin (50 micrograms/ml) to the growth medium mass increase of the culture and peptidoglycan synthesis continued but cell division (daughter cell separation), cell wall turnover and autolysis were inhibited, resulting in the production of multicellular clumps of bacteria. Parallel with the increase of culture density, the concentration of vancomycin measured both by biological activity and by HPLC gradually declined in the culture medium. Cell division and wall turnover of the culture resumed with the production of cells of normal morphology at the time when the concentration of the drug in the medium decreased below 0.5-1.0 micrograms/ml. There was no detectable change in the antibiotic concentration in the culture medium during growth of a vancomycin-resistant (vanA-positive) strain of Enterococcus faecium and an intrinsically vancomycin-resistant strain of Leuconostoc. The vancomycin-resistant staphylococcal mutant gave no signal with the vanA or vanB DNA probes and contained no detectable D-lactate terminating cell wall precursors. The biochemical mechanism and clinical significance of such glycopeptide-resistant mutants remained to be established.

Abstract
Vancomycin usage at British Columbia's Children's Hospital has increased substantially in the Special Care Nursery as a consequence of a study demonstrating a reduced morbidity and mortality in neonates with necrotizing enterocolitis when treated with vancomycin and cefotaxime. The inability to place more than one peripheral intravenous access necessitates interruption of parenteral nutrition to infuse vancomycin, resulting in a reduction of the planned daily intake of these neonates. This is clinically significant with the administration of vancomycin because of the long administration period required for this drug (60 minutes). This study was designed to assess the physical and chemical stability of vancomycin with a standard neonatal parenteral nutrition solution, Vamin A, when coadministered through the same intravenous line. To simulate the actual clinical setting, the dose of vancomycin and the infusion rate of Vamin A were chosen to represent those commonly used in a 1-kg neonate. Physical compatibility was assessed using effluent obtained after coinfusion of vancomycin with parenteral nutrition solution. Duplicate samples were visually checked for color changes and precipitate. High-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and pH testing were used to assess chemical compatibility of vancomycin. The results of physical compatibility revealed no color change or precipitate. No changes in pH were observed. HPLC determination confirmed that there were no significant time-dependent changes in vancomycin stability. The samples were studied over 24 hours to determine the rate of degradation of vancomycin, if any, under various temperature conditions. The concentrations were not significantly different from each other at the different temperatures studied. Thus, there was no apparent change in the concentration of vancomycin in the presence of Vamin A.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
An LC method is described for the determination of EDTA in vancomycin formulations. EDTA is complexed with iron and the Fe(EDTA)- complex is separated from vancomycin components on a reversed-phase column using an ion pair mobile phase. Quantitation is achieved using UV detection, with absorbance ratioing employed to discriminate between the analyte and vancomycin-related compounds. The complexity of the sample matrix and the trace levels of EDTA that are of interest dictate unique development considerations. This method offers good specificity and precision over the range 20-300 ppm EDTA in vancomycin formulations, while maintaining a degree of simplicity. Wavelength selection is optimized to demonstrate the potential application of absorbance ratioing to trace determinations. This method has been effectively applied to vancomycin formulations containing a wide range of chemical impurities and is not affected by vancomycin degradation products.
