Tedizolid phosphate is a phosphate monoester formed by the condensation of phosphoric acid with a hydroxy group of tedizolid. It serves as a prodrug of tedizolid, used to treat acute bacterial skin infections caused by susceptible bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus (including MRSA and methicillin-susceptible strains), various Streptococcus species, and Enterococcus faecalis. It functions as an antimicrobial agent, protein synthesis inhibitor, and prodrug. Tedizolid phosphate is classified as a carbamate ester, organofluorine compound, oxazolidinone, pyridine derivative, tetrazole derivative, and phosphate monoester.
