Pharmacology

Protein BindingChloramphenicol succinate is 57-92% protein bound in plasma.
Pharmacodynamics · 1 item

Chloramphenicol succinate is a prodrug of chloramphenicol, which binds to bacterial ribosomes and prevents translation. It has a narrow therapeutic index and a moderate duration of action. Patients should be counselled regarding the risk of serious fatal blood dyscrasias.

Mechanism of Action · 1 item

Chloramphenicol succinate is hydrolyzed into the active chloramphenicol. Chloramphenicol resembles uridine-5'-phosphate. It binds to the residues A2451 and A2452 in the 23S rRNA of the 50S ribosomal subunit of _E. coli_, which prevents translation.

Biological Half-LifeThe half life of chloramphenicol succinate in patients with normal renal and hepatic function is 0.6-2.7h.
Metabolism/Metabolites · 1 item

Chloramphenicol succinate is hydrolyzed to chloramphenicol. The propane-diol moiety of chloramphenicol can be metabolised through a number of pathways including glucuronidation, sulfate conjugation, phosphorylation, acetylation, and oxidation. The dichloroacetate moiety can be metabolised through hydrolysis of the amide group and dechlorination. The nitro functional group can also be metabolised to an aryl amine and aryl amide metabolite.

MeSH Pharmacological ClassificationSubstances that inhibit the growth or reproduction of BACTERIA.
Absorption, Distribution and Excretion · 4 items

Chloramphenicol succinate has a high degree of interpatient variability, with a Tmax of 18 minutes to 3 hours. A 1g oral chloramphenicol succinate dose every 6-8 hours reaches a mean Cmax of 11.2µg/mL with a Tmax of 1 hour.

6-80% of chloramphenicol succinate is eliminated unchanged in the urine, though this is highly variable between patients. On average, 30% of chloramphenicol succinate is eliminated unchanged in the urine and 10% is eliminated as the active chloramphenicol in the urine.

Chloramphenicol succinate has a volume of distribution of 0.2-3.1L/kg.

Chloramphenicol succinate's total clearance is 530-540mL/min in patients with normal renal and hepatic function, and 354mL/min in patients with renal or hepatic dysfunction. Chloramphenicol succinate's renal clearance is 222-260mL/min in patients with normal renal and hepatic function, and 66mL/min in patients with renal or hepatic dysfunction.

Applications · 2 items

DescriptionChloramphenicol succinate is a water-soluble prodrug form of the antibiotic chloramphenicol. It is a substrate for succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and is oxidized by human liver and rat liver and kidney mitochondria to release chloramphenicol in vitro. Chloramphenicol succinate reduces human leukocyte migration in vitro. In vivo, chloramphenicol succinate reduces E. coli growth in rabbit and rat models of pyelonephritis when administered at doses of 150 and 200 mg/kg, respectively. Chloramphenicol succinate (20 mg/kg) reduces infarct size in a porcine model of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. Formulations containing chloramphenicol succinate have been used in the treatment of severe bacterial infections.

UsesChloramphenicol succinate is prepared by acylation of chloramphenicol with succinic anhydride to provide a water soluble pro-drug. Chloramphenicol succinate represents an alternative pro-drug strategy for chloramphenicol that has found a niche in surface antibiotic treatment in surgery. Chloramphenicol succinate is significantly less active than chloramphenicol but acts as a prodrug, forming chloramphenicol in the presence of succinate dehydrogenase.
