Negative in in vivo rat bone marrow micronucleus and in vitro mouse lymphoma assays
“Lefamulin did not elicit genotoxic potential in an in vivo rat bone marrow micronucleus assay for clastogenicity or in the in vitro Mouse Lymphoma Ly5178Y TK+/- mutation assay.”
Rat and rabbit EFD; reduced live birth index in rats at high doses
“Effects on embryo-foetal development were evaluated in rats and rabbits. Overall, a reduced live pup birth index in rats indicated an effect of lefamulin on embryo-foetal survival at high doses”
hERG IC50 27 µM (CHO) and 47 µM (HEK-293); action potential prolongation in rabbit Purkinje fibres
“The IC50 for lefamulin at the hERG channel is 27 µM in CHO cells and 47 µM in HEK-293 cells. In rabbit Purkinje fibres, the potential to prolong the duration of the action potential was observed.”
Not genotoxic overall: Ames negative; in vitro chromosome aberration positive without (not with) metabolic activation; rat micronucleus and comet negative
