Overview

Tedizolid is an oxazolidone antibiotic. It is an oxazolidinone, but differs from other oxazolidinones by having a modified side chain at the C-5 position of the oxazolidinone nucleus which confers activity against certain linezolid-resistant pathogens. It also has an optimized C- and D-ring system that improves its potency via addiitonal binding site interactions. The compound was formerly known as Torezolid. Tedizolid is bacteriostatic against Gram-positive organisms. As with linezolid, Tedizolid is a weak, reversible MAO inhibitor.
Tedizolid is slightly soluble in ethanol, DMSO, and DMF.Please contact us at for specific academic pricing.
Background
