Description

Clarithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic and a CYP3A4 inhibitor.Target: Antibacterial; CYP3A4Clarithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic used to treat pharyngitis, tonsillitis, acute maxillary sinusitis, acute bacterial exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, pneumonia (especially atypical pneumonias associated with Chlamydophila pneumoniae), skin and skin structure infections. Clarithromycin prevents bacteria from growing by interfering with their protein synthesis. It binds to the subunit 50S

Clarithromycin Use and Manufacturing

1. A semi-synthetic macrolide antibiotic. A derivative of erythromycin
2. Antibacterial
3. Clarithromycin is a semi-synthetic macrolide antibiotic. Clarithromycin is a derivative of Erythromycin (E650000).
4. Clarithromycin (6-methoxyerythromycin) is a macrolide antibiotic active against a broad range of Gram positive bacteria. Clarithromycin was designed to enhance acid stability and improve oral bioavailability compared with erythromycin which is highly unstable to acidic conditions, undergoing a series of internal ketalisations between the 9-keto moiety and alcohols at C6 and C11. Omura and colleagues found that protection of the labile 6-OH group by methylation provided a simple but elegant solution.
5. Labeled Clarithromycin, intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of Clarithromycin by GC- or LC-mass spectrometry.
6. A macrolide antibiotic and protein synthesis inhibitor

Drug Function and Efficacy

This product is a macrolide antibiotic, which has inhibitory effects on Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus, and Pneumococcus, as well as some Gram-negative bacteria such as Haemophilus influenzae, Bordetella pertussis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Legionella pneumophila, and some anaerobic bacteria such as Bacteroides fragilis, Streptococcus peptostreptococcus, and Propionibacterium acnes. In addition, it also has inhibitory effects on mycoplasma. The characteristics of this product are that its antibacterial activity in vitro is similar to that of erythromycin, but its antibacterial activity in vivo against some bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus, and Haemophilus influenzae is stronger than that of erythromycin. There is cross-resistance between this product and erythromycin. The mechanism of action of this product is to inhibit the association of the 50S subunit of the nuclear protein and inhibit protein synthesis to produce an antibacterial effect.

This ingredient has been used in drugs with the following functions (note: it does not mean that the ingredient itself has the following health functions)
