Lipoglycopeptides are a class of

lipophilic side-chains linked to glycopeptides. The class includes oritavancin, telavancin and dalbavancin.[1][2]

In September 2009 the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved telavancin (Vibativ) for complicated skin and skin structure infections (cSSSI) On May 23, 2014, the FDA approved dalbavancin (Dalvance), an injectable drug, administered intravenously in two doses one week apart. On August 6, 2014, the FDA approved oritavancin (Orbactiv), an injectable drug administered as a single dose to comprise a full course of therapy.

Telavancin is the most potent of the three against Clostridium spp.[3]

Approvals and clinical trials

complicated skin and skin structure infections (cSSSI).[6]

Oritavancin (once daily injection)[4] has completed phase II and phase III trials. [7][8][9] Oritavancin was approved by the FDA on August 6, 2014, and by the EMA mid-2015, for treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI).[10][11]

Generating Antibiotic Incentives Now
(GAIN) title of the FDA Safety and Innovation Act, dalbavancin was granted QIDP designation because it is an antibacterial or antifungal human drug intended to treat serious or life-threatening infections. As part of its QIDP designation, dalbavancin was given priority review, which provides an expedited review of the drug's application. dalbavancin's QIDP designation also qualifies it for an additional five years of marketing exclusivity to be added to certain exclusivity periods already provided by the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.
