摘要

Gepotidacin (BLUJEPA), a small molecule triazaacenaphthylene bacterial type II topoisomerase inhibitor (BTI) antibacterial, has been developed by GSK for the treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections (uUTIs) and uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhoea (uUGC). In March 2025, gepotidacin was approved for the treatment of uUTIs caused by susceptible isolates of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Citrobacter freundii complex, Staphylococcus saprophyticus and Enterococcus faecalis in female adult and paediatric patients aged ≥ 12 years and weighing ≥ 40 kg in the USA. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of gepotidacin leading to this first approval for the treatment of bacterial uUTIs.
