ETH NO. 22210 Toxin Inhibitors for the Treatment of Clostridium difficile Infection A thesis submitted to attain the degree of DOCTOR OF SCIENCES of ETH ZURICH (Dr. sc. ETH Zurich) presented by Mattias Emanuel IVARSSON MSc in Biomedical Engineering, ETH Zurich born on 10.3.1987 citizen of Zurich, Switzerland accepted on the recommendation of Prof. Jean-Christophe Leroux, examiner Prof. Bastien Castagner, co-examiner Prof. Wolf-Dietrich Hardt, co-examiner 2014 Abstract Clostridium difficile is a bacterial pathogen causing life-threatening infections that are the leading cause of hospital-acquired diarrhea. Recommended treatments for C. difficile infection (CDI) are limited to three antibiotics, which have unsatisfactory cure rates and lead to unacceptably high recurrence. The aim of the doctoral work presented herein was to explore the development of two novel therapeutic approaches against CDI. A variety of innovative therapeutic and prophylactic options against CDI are currently already in clinical trials, ranging from intestinal microbiota regeneration therapies to vaccines. These are presented and discussed in Chapter 1 of this thesis. Protein toxins constitute the main virulence factors of several species of bacteria and have proven to be attractive targets for drug development. Lead candidates that target bacterial toxins range from small molecules to polymeric binders, and act at each of the multiple steps in the process of toxin- mediated pathogenicity. -
Non-Systemic Drugs: a Critical Review

The first generation included po- lymeric resins that sequester phosphate ions, potassium ions, or bile acids for the treatment of electrolyte imbalances or hypercholestere- mia. The field has evolved towards non-absorbable small molecules or peptides targeting luminal enzymes or transporters for the treat- ment of mineral metabolism disorders, diabetes, gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, and enteric infections. From a drug design and develop- ment perspective, non-systemic agents offer novel opportunities to address unmet medical needs while minimizing toxicity risks, but also present new challenges, including developing a better understanding and control of non-transcellular leakage pathways into the systemic circulation. The pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationship of drugs acting in the GI tract can be complex due to the variability of intestinal transit, interaction with chyme, and the complex environment of the surface epithelia. We review the main classes of non- absorbable agents at various stages of development, and their therapeutic potential and limitations.

The rapid progress in the identifica- tion of intestinal receptors and transporters, their functional characterization and role in metabolic and inflammatory disorders, will un- doubtedly renew interest in the development of novel, safe, non-systemic therapeutics.
