Midecamycin is a naturally occurring 16-membered macrolide that fits under the category of acetoxy-substituted macrolide antibiotics. In this molecule, an acetoxy group is substituted on the position 9 of the 16-member ring and on position 4 of the terminal sugar. Until 2017, midecamycin was still under the list of approved antimicrobial active pharmaceutical ingredients by Health Canada.

4 Drug and Medication Information
4.1 Drug Indication

Midecamycin was used for the treatment of infections in the oral cavity, upper and lower respiratory tracts and skin and soft tissue infections. The alone use of midecamycin was mainly used in Europe or Japan.


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Reports have indicated that midecamycin is active against both erythromycin-susceptible and efflux-mediated erythromycin-resistant strains. The diacetate form of this product reduces gastrointestinal side effects and improves its pharmacokinetic profile. Studies have proved that midecamycin is highly active against Gram-positive organisms. The activity of midecamycin in the form of acetate salt presents a better activity, which seems to be potentiated at pH 7-8, as well as a longer half-life.


5.2 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Anti-Bacterial Agents

Substances that inhibit the growth or reproduction of BACTERIA. (See all compounds classified as Anti-Bacterial Agents.)


5.3 ATC Code

J - Antiinfectives for systemic use

J01 - Antibacterials for systemic use

J01F - Macrolides, lincosamides and streptogramins

J01FA - Macrolides

J01FA03 - Midecamycin


5.4 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Midecamycin is rapidly and almost completely absorbed when orally administered. It is mainly absorbed in the alkaline intestinal environment. This rapid absorption is due to its liposoluble property which allows for good penetration in the tissues, especially bronchial secretion, prostatic tissue, middle ear exudates and bone tissue. The tissue/serum ratio concentration is greater than 1 which indicates that this product does not stay long in the plasma. After oral administration of 600 mg of midecamycin, the peak serum concentration is 0.8 mg/L and it is attained 1 hour after oral administration. This concentration dereased significantly after 4-6 hours.


Route of Elimination

The major route of elimination of midecamycin is is the liver, followed by a low significance of renal elimination. Urinary concentrations accounts for about 3.3% of the administered dose after 6 hours.


Volume of Distribution

The reported apparent volume of distribution of midecamycin is 7.7 L/kg.


Clearance

Midecamycin presentas a low renal clearance value.


5.5 Metabolism/Metabolites

Midecamycin undergoes extensive biotransformation in the liver and its metabolites are characterized by presenting little to no antimicrobial activity. The main metabolite is formed by a 14-hydroxylation and it can be also detected in urine.


5.6 Biological Half-Life

The half-life of midecamycin is longer than the first macrolide antibiotics. after intravenous administration, the half-life reported is of 54 minutes.


5.7 Mechanism of Action

Midecamycin, as part of the macrolides, act by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. More specifically, midecamycin inhibits bacterial growth by targetting the 50S ribosomal subunit preventing peptide bond formation and translocation during protein synthesis. The presence of mutations in the 50S RNA can prevent midecamycin binding. Midecamycin is a broad spectrum antibiotic and thus, it can interact with different bacteria.
