(the ‘‘Company’’ or ‘‘Sihuan Pharmaceutical’’, together with its subsidiaries, the ‘‘Group’’) is pleased to announce that Xuanzhu (HK) Biopharmaceutical Limited (‘‘Xuanzhu’’), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group, acquired all interests and intellectual property rights of plazomicin, a new generation of aminoglycoside antibiotics, in the Greater China Region (including the People’s Republic of China (the ‘‘PRC’’), Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Macau Special Administrative Region and Taiwan) from Achaogen, Inc. (‘‘Achaogen’’), a company incorporated in Delaware, the United States of America. Plazomicin is a new generation of semisynthetic aminoglycoside antibiotics developed by Achaogen. It produces antibacterial effect mainly through binding to bacterial 30S ribosomal subunits and is used to treat severe infections caused by multi-drug resistance (‘‘MDR’’) gram-negative bacteria and enterobacteriaceae, including the carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae. In the PRC, MDR bacterial infections are mainly acquired in hospital and most of the infected individuals are immunocompromised due to various reasons.

  • Plazomicin for Complicated Urinary Tract Infection
    October Horizon Scanning Research & 2016 Intelligence Centre Plazomicin for complicated urinary tract infection NIHR HSRIC ID: 9787 Lay summary Serious infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria are becoming increasingly resistant to commonly prescribed antibiotics and are a serious global concern. If licensed, plazomicin will offer a treatment option for those patients who have a complicated urinary tract infection or acute pyelonephritis caused by multi-drug resistant Gram-negative bacteria, a group who currently have few effective and well tolerated therapies available. This briefing is based on information available at the time of research and a limited literature search. It is not intended to be a definitive statement on the safety, efficacy or effectiveness of the health technology covered and should not be used for commercial purposes or commissioning without additional information. This briefing presents independent research funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). The views expressed are those of the author and not necessarily those of the NHS, the NIHR or the Department of Health. Horizon Scanning Research & Intelligence Centre University of Birmingham nihrhsric@contacts.bham.ac.uk www.hsric.nihr.ac.uk @OfficialNHSC TARGET GROUP • Complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI), including acute pyelonephritis (AP); infection caused by resistant Gram-negative bacterial pathogens, including 3rd generation cephalosporin and carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae (CRE) – first line, followed by appropriate, optional oral step down therapy. TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION Plazomicin (ACHN-490) is a next-generation broad-spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic. Aminoglycosides kill bacteria by inhibiting protein synthesis through binding to the bacterial 16S rRNA, and by disrupting the integrity of bacterial cell membranes.
