Durlobactam (ETX2514) is a β-lactamase inhibitor (BLI)Designed to expand coverage beyond Class A and C to include Class D

• Avibactam, a BLI, is largely inactive against Class D β-lactamases

(activity limited to inhibition of OXA-48)

• Durlobactam (ETX2514) designed to effectively bind all variants of

these enzymes, including OXA-23 -24/40, -51, -58 and other families

Overlay of ETX2514 and avibactam

AmpC co-crystal structures

Durlobactam (ETX2514) is the first clinical-stage BLI with broad-

spectrum activity against Class A, C and D β-lactamases

• Several other DBO analogs have also exhibited PBP2 activity (e.g. nacubactam, zidebactam, NXL-105) but this feature has not yet been optimized

NXL-105 DBO-based PBP2 inhibitor has excellent in vitro potency (P.a. MIC90= 1 mg/L, N=302), it was devoid of in vivo efficacy despite dosing up to 100% fT/MIC

Using structure-based design, we have engineered strong PBP3 activity along with some PBP1a activity which translates into robust in vivo activity.
