General description

Chemical structure: macrolide

Application

Erythoromycin estolate is used to study hepatic cytochrome P-450 induction and inactivation via cytochrome-metabolite complex formation and Giardia intestinalis inefections. It is used to study antibiotic cytotoxicity in cultured human liver cell lines.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Erythromycin inhibits protein synthesis (elongation) at the level of transpeptidation (aminoacyl translocation A-site to P-site) by binding to the 50s subunit of the bacterial 70s rRNA complex.

Erythromycin is frequently prescribed in Germany for acute otitis media, but well-designed clinical trials under present epidemiological conditions are lacking. Therefore, a double-blind, randomized, multicenter trial was performed to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of erythromycin estolate versus amoxicillin
