Since 2004, Advanced Life Sciences has promoted current development of cethromycin. The ketolides are structurally derived from erythromycin A and are designed to overcome resistance to macrolides. One of the main features is the lack of the neutral sugar L-cladinose at position 3 of the erythonolide ring, which is replaced by a keto group (thus giving rise to the class name). Lack of the L-cladinose moiety results in better drug absorption and less gastric irritation through improved acid stability.
UsesAntibacterial.
DefinitionChEBI: Cethromycin is a macrolide antibiotic which displays in vitro activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and is currently under investigation for the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have also granted orphan drug designation to cethromycin for the treatment of anthrax prophylaxis, tularemia, and plague (PDB entry: 1NWX). It has a role as an antibacterial drug and a protein synthesis inhibitor. It is a macrolide antibiotic, a member of quinolines and a monosaccharide derivative.
