Description
Erythromycin ethylsuccinate is a macrolide antibiotic with a target spectrum similar to that of penicillin. It has shown high efficacy against Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Legionella pneumophila. Additionally, it has been used to study erythromycin-resistance bacteria, down-regulation of motilin receptors, and mutations on the omsA and firA genes. Erythromycin ethylsuccinate is freely soluble in organic solvents.
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.
