Description
Roxithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic and derivative of erythromycin. It targets both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria and has shown strong efficacy against Legionella pneumophila and a variety of oral pathogens. Additionally, roxithromycin inhibits the activation of NADPH oxidase and promotes neutrophil apoptosis.
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.
