Description:
Erythromycin is a macrolide antibiotic that has an antimicrobial spectrum similar to or slightly wider than that of penicillin, and is often used for people who have an allergy to penicillins. For respiratory tract infections, it has better coverage of atypical organisms, including mycoplasma and Legionellosis. It was first marketed by Eli Lilly and Company, and it is today commonly known as EES (erythromycin ethylsuccinate, an ester prodrug that is commonly administered). In structure, this macrocyclic compound contains a 14-membered lactone ring with ten asymmetric centers and two sugars (L-cladinose and D-desosamine), making it a compound very difficult to produce via synthetic methods.
Erythromycin is an macrolide antibiotic, white or white crystalline or powder; No smell, taste bitter; Slightly hygroscopic. Similar to penicillin, the antibacterial spectrum has a strong inhibitory effect on gram-positive bacteria and gram-negative bacteria, as well as on mycoplasma, actinomycetes, spirochetes, rickettsia, chlamydia, nocardia, a few mycobacteria and amoeba. It is often used as a substitute for penicillin allergy. Oral absorption is poor, also can make eye ointment, treat trachoma, conjunctivitis, keratitis, besmear inside eyelid.
