Tedizolid (also known as TR-700, DA-7157) as is an active compound, which is produced by plasma or intestinal phosphatases, after administration of the drug, tedizolid phosphate either orally or intravenously. The mechanism of action of tedizolid occurs through inhibition of bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 23S ribosomal RNA of the 50S subunit, thereby preventing the formation of the 70S initiation complex and inhibiting protein synthesis.
