General description

Chemical structure: macrolide

Application

Erythromycin ethyl succinate is used to study erythromycin-resistant Streptococcus pyogenes and Streptococcus pneumoniae. It has been used to study down-regulation of motilin receptors on rabbit colon myocytes and lethal mutations in outer membrane genes omsA and firA in Salmonella typhimurium.

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.
