Gepotidacin is a novel, first-in-class triazaacenaphthylene antibiotic that may provide a new treatment option for antibiotic-resistant pathogens. Two pharmacokinetic evaluations of oral gepotidacin are presented: a relative bioavailability study that guided formulation development, followed by an adult and adolescent study of the final formulation.
