Product Overview
Spiramycin Base is a 16-membered macrolide antibiotic produced by Streptomyces ambofaciens. It is widely used in human medicine for its excellent tissue penetration and intracellular concentration, particularly in the treatment of toxoplasmosis during pregnancy.
Spiramycin inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit. It achieves high tissue concentrations, especially in the respiratory tract, and concentrates in macrophages. It is a well-established antibacterial agent.
