| A broad-spectrum antibiotic of macrolide class which targets 50S ribosome subunit and inhibits protein synthesis. Azithromycin is a semi-synthetic acid-stable derivative of erythromycin. In vitro, azithromycin is more efficient than erythromycin in some Gram-negative organisms such as Haemophilus influenzae, Haemophilus parainfluenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Borrelia burgdorferi. Synonyms: (2R,3S,4R,5R,8R,10R,11R,12S,13S,14R)-13-[(2,6-Dideoxy-3-C-methyl-3-O-methyl-alpha-L-ribo-hexopyranosyl)oxy]-2-ethyl-3,4,10-trihydroxy-3,5,6,8,10,12,14-heptamethyl-11-[[3,4,6-trideoxy-3-(dimethylamino)-beta-D-xylo-hexopyranosyl]oxy]-1-oxa-6-azacyclopentadecan-15-one, 9-Deoxo-9a-methyl-9a-aza-9a-homoetrythromycin A, AZM, Aruzilina, Arzomicin, Auricin, Auricin (polyketide antibiotic), AzaSite, Azadose, Azatril, Azee, Azenil, Azimin, Aziromycin, Azisara, Azithral, Azithrocin, Azithromycin, Azithromycin A, Azitrocin, Azitromax, Aziwin, Aziwok, Azomycin, Azomycin (macrolide), Aztrin, CP 62993, Durasite, Hemomycin, Macromycin, Macrozit, N-Methyl-11-aza-10-deoxo-10-dihydroerythromycin A, Sanhe, Setron, Shimen, Sumamed, Sumazid, Tobil, Tridosil, Tromix, Trozocina, Ultreon, XZ 405, XZ 450, Xithron, Xithron CAS No: 83905-01-5 Molecular Formula: C38H72N2O12 Molecular Weight: 748.98 Appearance: White to off-white powder Purity: Activity: 945-1030U/mg Melting Point: 121-128C Solubility: Chloroform (Slightly), DMSO (Slightly), Ethanol (Slightly, Sonicated), Methanol Storage and Stability: Store at 4C under inert atmosphere.
