Description

General description

Clarithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic, which has both antibacterial and anti-inflammatory actions. It is a semi-synthetic 14-membered derivative of erythromycin A, which is resistant to degradation under acidic conditions.

Application

Clarithromycin may be used for-

• the study of the effects of clarithromycin on rate-dependent changes in QT, T_p-e and proarrhythmic events performed on arterially perfused rabbit left ventricular wedge preparations
• the culture of parasites expressing GFP (green fluorescence protein) targeted to the apicoplast, to be further used for microscopy-based assays
• the study of the synergism of NAB741 with clarithromycin in microtiter plates.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Macrolides, such as clarithromycin, prevent protein synthesis in bacteria, by binding to 50S ribosomal subunit. It also binds to other ribosomal proteins, and prevents the translocation of pepti-dyl-tRNA. In patients with refractory asthma, it is capable of regulating the levels of interleukin-8 (IL-8), and neutrophil accumulation and activation in lungs. Thus, it might be used as an additional therapy in asthma to reduce noneosinophilic airway inflammation.
