  • ||||||||||  Lamprene (clofazimine) / Novartis
    Journal:  Assessing potential drug-drug interactions between clofazimine and other frequently used agents to treat drug-resistant tuberculosis. (Pubmed Central) -  May 2, 2024   
    We evaluated the pharmacokinetic interaction between clofazimine and isoniazid, linezolid, levofloxacin, and cycloserine, dosed as terizidone...A posteriori power size calculations predicted that our sample sizes had 97%, 90%, and 87% power at P < 0.05 to detect a 30% change in clearance of isoniazid, linezolid, and cycloserine, respectively. Although clofazimine increased the area under the curve of levofloxacin by 19%, this is unlikely to be of great clinical significance, and the lack of interaction with other drugs tested is reassuring.

    Preclinical, Journal:  In vitro development of resistance against antipseudomonal agents: comparison of novel ?-lactam/?-lactamase inhibitor combinations and other ?-lactam agents. (Pubmed Central) -  May 2, 2024   
    Meropenem (mean, 38-fold increase), cefepime (14.4-fold), and piperacillin-tazobactam (52.9-fold) terminal mutants displayed high minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values compared to those obtained after exposure to ceftolozane-tazobactam (11.4-fold) and ceftazidime-avibactam (5.7-fold)...These alterations, along with ones in mexR and amrR, provided resistance to most ?-lactams and levofloxacin but not imipenem...The data generated here suggest that there is a difference in the mechanisms selected for high-level resistance between newer ?-lactam/?-lactamase inhibitor combinations and older agents. Nevertheless, the isolates exposed to all agents displayed elevated MIC values for other ?-lactams (except imipenem) and quinolones tested mainly due to alterations in the MexAB-OprM regulators that extrude these agents.
