The in vitro and in vivo antibacterial activities of 6-O-methylerythromycin A (TE-031, A-56268, or clarithromycin) and 6,11-di-O-methylerythromycin A (TE-032) have been compared with those of erythromycin A (EM) and josamycin (JM). TE-031 and TE-032, having the same antibacterial spectra as EM, are active against aerobic Gram-positive bacteria, some Gram-negative bacteria, anaerobic bacteria, L-form bacteria and Mycoplasma pneumoniae. The activity of TE-031 against clinical isolates is equal to or two times more potent than that of EM, whereas TE-032 is slightly less active than EM. The activities of TE-031 and TE-032 are pH dependent (more active at pH 8 than at 5) and are increased by adding serum to medium. TE-031 and TE-032 show dose-related bactericidal activities against Haemophilus influenzae. The therapeutic efficacies of TE-031 and TE-032 against systemic and subcutaneous infections provoked by Gram-positive bacteria in mice are 4- to 35-fold superior to those of EM and JM. TE-031 and TE-032 have demonstrated higher and longer-lasting plasma levels than EM when administered orally to mice, rats or dogs.
