Like other macrolide antibiotics, azithromycin inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit of the bacterial 70S ribosome. Binding inhibits peptidyl transferase activity and interferes with amino acid translocation during the process of translation. Its effects may be bacteriostatic or bactericidal depending of the organism and the drug concentration. Its long half life, which enables once daily dosing and shorter administration durations, is a property distinct from other macrolides.

Description Azithromycin is a semishysynthetic macrolide antibiotic of the azalide class Like other macrolide antibiotics azithromycin inhibits bacterial proteinsynthesis by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit of the bacterial 70S ribosome Binding inhibits peptidyl transferase activity and interferes withamino acid translocation during the process of translation Its effects may be bacteriostatic or bactericidal depending of the organism and the drugconcentration Its long half life which enables once daily dosing and shorter administration durations is a property distinct from other macrolides

Description This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as macrolides and analogues These are organic compounds containing alactone ring of at least twelve members
Indication For the treatment of patients with mild to moderate infections caused by susceptible strains of the designated microorganisms in the specificconditions H influenzae M catarrhalis S pneumoniae C pneumoniae M pneumoniae S pyogenes S aureus S agal
Pharmacodynamics Azithromycin a semisynthetic antibiotic belonging to the macrolide subgroup of azalides is used to treat STDs due to chlamydia and gonorrheacommunityshyacquired pneumonia pelvic inflammatory disease pediatric otitis media and pharyngitis and Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) inpatients with advanced HIV disease Similar in structure to erythromycin azithromycin reaches higher intracellular concentrations thanerythromycin increasing its efficacy and duration of action
Mechanism ofaction
Azithromycin binds to the 50S subunit of the 70S bacterial ribosomes and therefore inhibits RNAshydependent protein synthesis in bacterial cells
Absorption Bioavailability is 37 following oral administration Absorption is not affected by food Azithromycin is extensively distributed in tissues with tissueconcentrations reaching up to 50 times greater than plasma concentrations Drug becomes concentrated within macrophages andpolymorphonucleocytes giving it good activity against Chlamydia trachomatis
Volume ofdistribution
311 Lkg
Protein binding Serum protein binding is variable in the concentration range approximating human exposure decreasing from 51 at 002 microgmL to 7 at 2microgmL
Metabolism Hepatic In vitro and in vivo studies to assess the metabolism of azithromycin have not been performed
Route ofelimination
Biliary excretion of azithromycin predominantly as unchanged drug is a major route of elimination
Half life 68 hours
Clearance apparent plasma cl=630 mLmin [following single 500 mg oral and iv doses]
Toxicity Potentially serious side effects of angioedema and cholestatic jaundice were reported
Affected organisms Enteric bacteria and other eubacteria

Description This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as macrolides and analogues These are organic compounds containing alactone ring of at least twelve members
Indication For the treatment of patients with mild to moderate infections caused by susceptible strains of the designated microorganisms in the specificconditions H influenzae M catarrhalis S pneumoniae C pneumoniae M pneumoniae S pyogenes S aureus S agal
Pharmacodynamics Azithromycin a semisynthetic antibiotic belonging to the macrolide subgroup of azalides is used to treat STDs due to chlamydia and gonorrheacommunityshyacquired pneumonia pelvic inflammatory disease pediatric otitis media and pharyngitis and Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) inpatients with advanced HIV disease Similar in structure to erythromycin azithromycin reaches higher intracellular concentrations thanerythromycin increasing its efficacy and duration of action
Mechanism ofaction
Azithromycin binds to the 50S subunit of the 70S bacterial ribosomes and therefore inhibits RNAshydependent protein synthesis in bacterial cells
Absorption Bioavailability is 37 following oral administration Absorption is not affected by food Azithromycin is extensively distributed in tissues with tissueconcentrations reaching up to 50 times greater than plasma concentrations Drug becomes concentrated within macrophages andpolymorphonucleocytes giving it good activity against Chlamydia trachomatis
Volume ofdistribution
311 Lkg
Protein binding Serum protein binding is variable in the concentration range approximating human exposure decreasing from 51 at 002 microgmL to 7 at 2microgmL
Metabolism Hepatic In vitro and in vivo studies to assess the metabolism of azithromycin have not been performed
Route ofelimination
Biliary excretion of azithromycin predominantly as unchanged drug is a major route of elimination
Half life 68 hours
Clearance apparent plasma cl=630 mLmin [following single 500 mg oral and iv doses]
Toxicity Potentially serious side effects of angioedema and cholestatic jaundice were reported
Affected organisms Enteric bacteria and other eubacteria
