clinical trial results

A summary of the clinical trials of Teicoplanin would be useful. - Rod57 (talk) 08:33, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is it effective on vancomycin-resistant infections ?

Need a History section

Was it found naturally or is it an artificial derivative ? Why is it called semisynthetic ? - Rod57 (talk) 12:30, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Glycopeptide antibiotic says "

While not approved for use in the U.S., teicoplanin was discovered in the early 1990s and is marketed in Europe. It is more lipophillic than vancomycin, as it has more fatty acid chains. It is considered to be 50 to 100 times more lipophillic than vancomycin. Teicoplanin has an increased half-life compared to vancomycin, as well as having better tissue penetration. It can be two to four times more active than vancomycin, but it does depend upon the organism. Teicoplanin is more acidic, forming water-soluble salts, so it can be given intramuscularly. Teicoplanin is much better at penetrating into leucocytes and phagocytes than vancomycin.[citation needed]
