Claritop

Description:
Claritop (Clarithromycin) is a semi-synthetic derivative of Erythromycin A. It exerts its anti bacterial action by binding to the 50s ribosomal sub-unit of susceptible bacteria and suppresses protein synthesis. It is highly potent against a wide variety of aerobic and anaerobic gram-positive and gram negative organisms . The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of Clarithromycin are generally two-fold lower than the MICs of Erythromycin . The 14-hydroxy metabolite of clarithromycin also has anti-microbial activity. The MICs of this metabolite are equal or two-fold higher than the MICs of the parent compound , except for H.influenzae where the 14-hydroxy metabolite is two-fold more active than the parent compound .
