stopping the growth of bacteria.
Stability and Storage: Cloxacillin sodium capsules and powder for oral solution should be stored
in tight containers at a temperature less than 40°C, preferably between 15°C to 30°C. Upon
reconstitution, the resulting solution is stable for up to 24 hours at controlled room temperature

Streptomycin is a broad-spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic derived from Streptomyces
griseus and has a broad-spectrum of antibacterial activity. It is effective with respect to most
gram-negative and a few gram-positive bacteria.
Chemically, it is a triacidic base and has an aldose sugar. The structure of Streptomycin
consists of three components called: Streptidine (I) (diguanidino compound), Streptose (II)
(aldose sugar) and N-methyl-L-glucosamine unit (III). These three units linked through glycosidic
linkages.

odor. Streptomycin sulphate is available in the form of white to off-white powdery solid soluble
in water (50 mg/mL). Streptomycin (sulphate) is soluble in organic solvent such as DMSO and
dimethyl formamide, approximately 2 and 13 mg/mL respectively. The solubility of the sulfate
salt in water is greater than 20 g/1; in ethanol, the solubility is 0.35 g/1, and it is essentially
insoluble in ethyl ether.
Uses:
➢ Streptomycin (sulfate) is used for various diseases caused by microorganisms that are
sensitive to it in bacterial endocarditis, periotonitis, meningitis, infections of the urinary
tract, gastric infections, and so on.
➢ It is most effective for the chemotherapy of brucellosis, tularemia and yersinia infections.

12.2 TETRACYCLINES

Brand Names: Sumycin, Panmycin, Achromycin V, Actisite
Tetracyclines are broad-spectrum bacteriostatic antibiotics produced by fermentation of
certain Streptomyces spp. Tetracyclines have a ring system characterized by a common octahydro
naphthacenes skeleton. Conventionally, tetracyclines can be classified into two types based on the
source and duration of action.
I. On the basis of sources:
➢ Naturally occurring – Tetracyclin, Chlortetracyclin, Oxytetracyclin and Demeclocyclin.
➢ Semi-synthetic – Doxycyclin, Lymecyclin, Meclocyclin, Methacyclin and Minocyclin.
II On the basis of duration of action:
➢ Short acting (half-life is 6-8 hours): Chlortetracycline, Oxytetracycline and
Tetracycline.
➢ Intermediate acting (half-life 12 hours): Demeclocyline and Methacycline.
➢ Long acting (half-life 16 hours): Doxycycline and Minocycline.
Tetracyclines are a large family of antibiotics, discovered in the form of chlortetracycline and
oxytetracycline (first members of tetracycline group) as natural products. Streptomyces
aureofaciens and S. rimosus are the sources of chlortetracycline and oxytetracycline, respectively.
It is amphoteric compounds, forming salts with either acids or bases. In neutral solution, this
substance exists mainly as zwitterions. The acid salts, which are formed through protonation of
the enol group on C-2, exist as crystalline compounds that are very soluble in water.

12.3 MACROLID ANTIBIOTICS

Macrolides are group of antibiotics derived from Saccharopolyspora erythraea (originally
called Streptomyces erythreus). They are natural products composed of a large macrocyclic
lactone ring and one or more deoxy sugars, generally cladinose and desosamine. The most
frequently used macrolide antibiotics are erythromycin, azithromycin, clarithromycin, and
roxithromycin, commonly used to treat both acute and chronic infections.
Macrolides mainly affect gram-positive cocci and intracellular pathogens such as
mycoplasma, chlamydia, and legionella. They act by inhibiting protein synthesis in bacteria by
reversibly binding to the P site of the 50S unit of the ribosome. Primarily, their actions are
bacteriostatic but may be bactericidal at high concentrations, or depending on the type of
microorganism.

12.3.1 Erythromycin

Brand Names: Erythrocin, Aktipak, Apo-Erythro-S, Benzamycin, Ery, Ery-tab, Eryc, Erygel,
Eryped, Erythro, Erythrocin, Erythrocin Stearate
Erythromycins are macrolide antibiotic and were first isolated in 1952 from the culture liquid
of microorganisms of the type Streptomyces erytherus. The structure of erythromycin is complex
and consists of a 14-membered lactone ring along with ten asymmetric centers and two sugars,
L-cladinose and D-desosamine. Erythromycin comes in four forms: Erythromycin A, B, C and D.
Erythromycin A is known for being the most antibacterial with B, C and D following
respectively.
334 Text Book of Pharmaceutical Chemistry
Properties: It appears as fluffy colorless or white to faint yellow, practically odorless, bitter,
powder. It is slightly soluble in ethanol, ethyl ether; insoluble in water; freely soluble in acetone
and chloroform.
Mechanism of Action: It inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to bacterial 50S
ribosomal subunits. Binding inhibits peptidyl transferase activity and interferes with the
translocation of amino acids during the translation and assembly of proteins. Erythromycin may
be bacteriostatic or bactericidal depending on the organism and drug concentration.
Uses: Erythromycin is used to prevent and treat infections in many different parts of the body
such as:
➢ It is used topically in the treatment of acne vulgaris.
➢ It used in respiratory tract infections, skin infections and diphtheria.
➢ It is used as an alternative agent in the treatment of anthrax.
➢ It is used in intestinal amebiasis and acute pelvic inflammatory disease.
➢ It is generally effective in the treatment of mild to moderate inflammatory acne.
➢ It is used in Legionnaire’s disease, pertussis, and syphilis.
➢ It is also used to prevent recurrent attacks of rheumatic fever in patients who have had an
allergic reaction to penicillin or sulfa drugs.
Storage and Stability: Erythromycin topical solutions and gels should be stored at 15°C to 30°C;
exposure to heat or open flames should be avoided. The topical ointment should be stored at a
temperature less than 27°C. It should be stored in tight container as defined in the USP-NF.
Erythromycin (base) capsules and tablets should be stored in tight containers at room temperature
(15°C to 30°C).

12.3.2 Azithromycin

Brand Names: Azasite, Azithromycin, Day Dose Pack, Zithromax, Zithromax TRI-PAK,
Zithromax Z-Pak, Zmax
Azithromycin is a broad-spectrum, semi-synthetic antibiotic.
Chemical Structure: Azithromycin belongs to the azalide derived from erythromycin and a
member of a subclass of macrolide antibiotics. The 15-membered lactone ring is derived from
erythromycin, upon incorporation of a methyl-substituted nitrogen atom (bold).
Properties: Azithromycin appears as white crystalline powder with melting point 113°C to
115°C. It is soluble in ethanol and DSMO, and minimally soluble in water.
Mechanism of Action: Azithromycin reversibly binds to the 23S rRNA of the 50S ribosomal
subunit of the bacterial ribosome of susceptible microorganisms, thereby inhibiting the
translocation step of protein synthesis by preventing the assembly of the 50S ribosomal subunit.
This inhibits bacterial protein synthesis, inhibits cell growth and causes cell death.
Uses:
➢ Azithromycin is used to treat a wide variety of infections caused by bacteria, such as
respiratory infections, skin infections, ear infections, eye infections, and sexually
transmitted diseases.
➢ This is also used in middle ear infections, strep throat, pneumonia, traveler’s diarrhea,
and certain other intestinal infections, urinary tract infections and sinusitis.
➢ It is used orally in children for the treatment of acute otitis media (AOM).
➢ It is used in the treatment of pharyngitis and tonsillitis caused by Streptococcus pyogenes.

acting) suspension (liquid), and a suspension (liquid) to take by mouth.
➢ Injection: 500 mg/vial
➢ Tablet: 250 mg, 500 mg
➢ Oral Suspension: 100 mg/5 ml, 200 mg/5 ml
Storage and Stability: Azithromycin 250 mg or 500 mg tablets should be stored at controlled
