midecamycin brands

Molecular formula: C41H67NO15

Midecamycin, as part of the macrolides, act by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. More specifically, midecamycin inhibits bacterial growth by targetting the 50S ribosomal subunit preventing peptide bond formation and translocation during protein synthesis. The presence of mutations in the 50S RNA can prevent midecamycin binding. Midecamycin is a broad spectrum antibiotic and thus, it can interact with different bacteria.
