HIDE SMILES / InChI
Retapamulin is a topical antibiotic which was approved by FDA (Altabax brand name) for the treatment of impetigo due to Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-susceptible isolates only) or Streptococcus pyogenes. Retapamulin exerts its antibacterial action by binding to 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome.

TargetModalityActivityMetaboliteClinical evidence
weak [IC50 1.1 uM]
unlikely (co-administration study)
Comment: retapamulin inhibited CYP3A4 isoenzyme activity, IC50 ranged from 1.1 uM with midazolam to 6.2 uM with nifedipine; I/Ki ratios are less than 0.1 for all CYP P450 isoenzymes and no clinically relevant DDI are anticipated when retapamulin is coadministered with other drugs metabolized by CYPs

weak [IC50 28.2 uM]

Comment: in vitro inhibitor of digoxin transport by P-gp with a calculated IC50 value of 28.2 uM; it is unlikely that retapamulin will inhibit P-gp mediated transport of co-administered drugs

Sample Use Guides

A thin layer of retapamulin (Altabax) should be applied to the affected area (up to 100 cm2 in total area in adults or 2% total body surface area in pediatric patients aged 9 months or older) twice daily for 5 days.
Route of Administration: Topical
In vitro activity of retapamulin was determinde against methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA), methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), and linezolid and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (LR-MRSA). MSSA and MRSA isolates were susceptible to retapamulin, with an MIC90 of 0.094 mg/L and 0.125 mg/L respectively, but retapamulin MICs for the 18 LR-MRSA strains were over 32 mg/L in all cases.
