Topibac 1% is a semisynthetic derivative of the compound pleuromutilin.
In vitro activity of Topibac 1% against isolates of Staphylococcus aureus as well as Streptococcus pyogenes has been demonstrated. Topibac 1% selectively inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by interacting at a site on the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome through an interaction that is different from that of other antibiotics.
This binding site involves ribosomal protein L3 and is in the region of the ribosomal P-site and peptidyl transferase center. By virtue of binding to this site, pleuromutilins inhibit peptidyl transfer, block P-site interactions and prevent the normal formation of active 50S ribosomal subunits.
Topibac 1% demonstrates no in vitro target-specific cross-resistance with other classes of antibiotics.
