Description
Azithromycin is a broad-spectrum macrolide antibiotic similar in structure to erythromycin. It is effective against various gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. It has also displayed efficacy against certain Mycoplasma species. Azithromycin also exhibits anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. Azithromycin dihydrate is slightly soluble in aqueous solution.
Macrolide antibiotics are composed of a macrocyclic lactone ring attached to one or more deoxy sugars. They inhibit bacterial protein synthesis by irreversibly binding the P site of the 50s ribosome, preventing peptide bond formation and translocation.
