| Name | Valnemulin hydrochloride |
| Description | Valnemulin hydrochloride (Valnemulin HCl) is a broad-spectrum bacteriostatic agent inhibiting protein synthesis in bacteria by binding to the peptidyl transferase component of the 50S subunit of ribosomes. |
| In vitro | Valnemulin (20 μM) completely inhibits the peptidyl transferase reaction, thus inhibits peptide bond formation. Valnemulin enhances the reactivity of nucleotides A2058 and A2059 moderately, whereas they protect U2506 strongly. [1] Valnemulin shows exceptional activity against M hyopneumoniae (MIC90 0.5 μg/mL) and M hyosynoviae (MIC range 0.1-0.25 0.5 μg/mL) field strains. [2] Valnemulin is mainly active against Gram-positive bacteria with moderate activity against some fastidious Gram-negative bacilli (e.g., anaerobic bacteria) and Mycoplasma and is used almost exclusively in animals, largely in swine in China. [3] |
| In vivo | Valnemulin is absorbed rapidly, distributed widely and rapidly and excreted rapidly after oral administration to rats. [3] Valnemulin results in a rapid diminution of clinical signs, restoration of appetite and reversal of weight loss in young calves. Valnemulin results in a more rapid reduction of clinical scores and eliminated M. bovis from the lungs more effectively than Enrofloxacin. [4] Valnemulin significantly decreases the wet-to-dry weight (W/D) ratios of lungs, protein concentrations, and the number of total cells, neutrophils, macrophages, and leukomonocytes, and histologic analysis indicates that valnemulin significantly attenuates tissue injury. Valnemulin significantly increases LPS-induced SOD activity in BALF and decreases lung myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity activity as well. Valnemulin also inhibits the production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-6, and interleukin-1beta, which is consistent with mRNA expression in lung. [5] |
