Lincomycin Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

Uses

Lincomycin is a polar, water soluble, broad spectrum antibiotic first isolated from Streptomyces licolnensis by researchers at Upjohn in 1962. Lincomycin was the first of a unique structural class, the lincosamides, containing a rare amino acid, 4-propyl-N-methylproline, coupled to an equally rare aminomethylthio-octopyranoside sugar. Lincomycin and semi-synthetic analogues are often incorrectly considered to be aminoglycosides but share little or no structural similarity. Lincomycin is a broad spectrum antibiotic with activity against anaerobic bacteria and protozoans. Lincomycin acts by binding to the 23S ribosomal subunit, blocking protein synthesis. Lincomycin has been extensively studied with over 7,000 literature citations.

Drug Function and Efficacy

Antibiotics, with an antibacterial spectrum similar to erythromycin, mainly have high antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria, and its mechanism of action is to inhibit bacterial protein synthesis

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)
