Chloramphenicol is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that typically stops bacterial growth by stopping the production of proteins. [5] Chloramphenicol was discovered after being isolated from Streptomyces venezuelae in 1947. [8] Its chemical structure was identified and it was first synthesized in 1949.
Examples of amphenicols include chloramphenicol, thiamphenicol, azidamfenicol, and florfenicol. The first-in-class compound was chloramphenicol, introduced in 1949. Chloramphenicol was initially discovered as a natural product and isolated from the soil bacteria Streptomyces venezuelae; [2] however, all amphenicols are now made by chemical ...
Mildred Catherine Rebstock (November 29, 1919 – February 17, 2011) was an American pharmaceutical chemist.She and her team were the first to fully synthesize chloromycetin, also known as chloramphenicol.
A chloramphenicol analog. May inhibit bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 50S subunit of the ribosome Tigecycline(Bs) Tigacyl: Slowly Intravenous. Indicated for complicated skin/skin structure infections, soft tissue infections and complicated intra-abdominal infections.
Unlike chloramphenicol, thiamphenicol is not readily metabolized in cattle, poultry, sheep, or humans, but is predominantly excreted unchanged. In pigs and rats the drug is excreted both as parent drug and as thiamphenicol glucuronate. [2] Thiamphenicol can be administered as a part of a complex molecule, Thiamphenicol glycinate acetylcysteine. [4]
Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (or CAT) is a bacterial enzyme (EC 2.3.1.28) [1] that detoxifies the antibiotic chloramphenicol and is responsible for chloramphenicol resistance in bacteria. [2] This enzyme covalently attaches an acetyl group from acetyl-CoA to chloramphenicol, which prevents chloramphenicol from binding to ribosomes .
Chloramphenicol, morphine, paracetamol, bilirubin, steroids Elderly: ↑ or unchanged: No change found for paracetamol, oxazepam, temazepam, or propranolol. Decreased clearance found for codeine-6-glucuronide, and decreased unbound clearance for oxazepam in the very elderly. Sex: Females: ↓
Is Chloramphenicol used in the treatment of animals? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Frederickwolf (talk • contribs) 19:07, 15 December 2006 (UTC). Chloramphenicol is widely used in aquarium. Chloramphenicol is effective in GI problems of fish in most cases as a medicinary bath. The dose should be 250mg/25L of water.
