Linopristin/flopristin (development codes NXL103 and XRP 2868) is an experimental drug candidate under development by Novexel. It is an oral streptogramin antibiotic that has potent in vitro activity against certain Gram-positive bacteria including methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA),[1] as well as the important respiratory pathogens including penicillin-, macrolide- and quinolone-resistant strains.[2][3] It is a combination of linopristin and flopristin.[4]
