Description
Clarithromycin is a semi-synthetic macrolide antibiotic. It works by penetrating into bacteria cell wall and reversibly binding to domain V of the 23S ribosomal RNA of the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, in this way it blocks translocation of aminoacyl transfer-RNA and polypeptide synthesis, this mechanism results in inhibition of bacterial growth. Clarithromycin also inhibits the hepatic microsomal CYP3A4 isoenzyme and P-glycoprotein, an energy-dependent drug efflux pump. Antibacterial spectrum of Clarithromycin is similar to erythromycin, but clarithromycin is more effective against certain gram-negative bacteria, particularly Legionella pneumophila. Clarithromycin also shows bactericidal effects on certain strains like; Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae and Neisseria Gonorrhoeae. Clarithromycin is indicated for adults and children 12 years and older in children 6 months to 12 years pediatric oral suspension is available. -
