Mupirocin calcium hydrate
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Mupirocin (BRL-4910A, Pseudomonic acid) calcium hydrate is an orally active antibiotic isolated from Pseudomonas fluorescens. Mupirocin calcium hydrate apparently exerts its antimicrobial activity by reversibly inhibiting isoleucyl-transfer RNA, thereby inhibiting bacterial protein and RNA synthesis.

Biological Activity
Mupirocin (BRL-4910A, Pseudomonic acid) calcium hydrate (0-100 μM; 48 h) shows antibacterial effect against staphylococci, streptococci and certain gram-negative bacteria, with MIC values range from 0.06-0.25 μg/mL (MIC50 =0.12 μg/mL, MIC90 =0.25 μg/mL)[1].
Mupirocin calcium hydrate is highly bound (95% bound) to human serum protein, thus results in activity inhibition in the presence of human serum[1].
Mupirocin calcium hydrate apparently exerts its antimicrobial activity by reversibly inhibiting isoleucyl-transfer RNA, thereby inhibiting bacterial protein and RNA synthesis[2].
Mupirocin calcium hydrate (2% ointment) reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-17 level, decreases tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) expression, and increases the leavel of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)[4].
Mupirocin calcium hydrate inhibits MS (S. epidermidis ATCC 12228), MR (S. epidermidis (Se56-99)), and VIR (S. epidermidis (Se43-98)) with MICs of 0.25, 1.26, 1.59 mg/L[5].
Note: MIC, the minimum inhibition concentration.

Result:Resulted in a 90 to 99% reduction at 24 h, with MIC values ranged from 0.12-1.0 μM/mL and MBC values ranged from 4.0-32 μM/mL at 48 h.
Mupirocin (BRL-4910A, Pseudomonic acid) calcium is well absorbed after oral and parenteral administration but serum antibiotic concentrations were short-lived as a result of extensive degradation to the antibacterially inactive metabolite, monic acid A[1].
Mupirocin calcium (2% ointment; external administration; twice daily; 3-6 d) decreases the total bacterial loads in the skin lesions with either topical treatment[3].
Mupirocin calcium (2% ointment; external administration; 4 d) alleviates MRSA-infected pressure ulcers in mice[4].
Mupirocin calcium (100 mg/mL; s.c.; 7 d) exerts prevention efficacy against vascular prosthetic graft infection due to Staphylococcus epidermidis[5].

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (2.32 mM); Clear solution
