Erythromycin
Based on 24 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Erythromycin is a macrolide antibiotic produced by actinomycete?Streptomyces erythreus?with a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity. Erythromycin binds to bacterial 50S ribosomal subunits and inhibits?RNA-dependent protein synthesis?by blockage of transpeptidation and/or translocation reactions, without affecting synthesis of nucleic acid[1][2]. Erythromycin also exhibits antitumor and neuroprotective effect in different fields of research[3][4].

Erythromycin inhibits growth of P. falciparum with IC50 and IC90 values of 58.2 μM and 104.0 μM, respectively[1].
Erythromycin (10 μM, 100 μM; 24 h, 72 h) shows antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects and suppresses the accumulation of 4-HNE (p<0.01) and 8-OHdG (p<0.01), reduces Iba-1 (p<0.01) and TNF-α (p<0.01) expression significantly[4].
