Groundwork

An antibiotic get-go isolated from cultures of Streptomyces venequelae in 1947 merely now produced synthetically. It has a relatively simple structure and was the first broad-spectrum antibody to be discovered. Information technology acts past interfering with bacterial protein synthesis and is mainly bacteriostatic. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 29th ed, p106)

Pharmacodynamics

Chloramphenicol is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that was derived from the bacterium Streptomyces venezuelae and is at present produced synthetically. Chloramphenicol is constructive against a wide variety of microorganisms, but due to serious side-effects (e.1000., damage to the bone marrow, including aplastic anemia) in humans, it is usually reserved for the treatment of serious and life-threatening infections (e.g., typhoid fever). Chloramphenicol is bacteriostatic but may be bactericidal in high concentrations or when used confronting highly susceptible organisms. Chloramphenicol stops bacterial growth past binding to the bacterial ribosome (blocking peptidyl transferase) and inhibiting protein synthesis.

Mechanism of action

Chloramphenicol is lipid-soluble, allowing it to lengthened through the bacterial jail cell membrane. It then reversibly binds to the L16 protein of the 50S subunit of bacterial ribosomes, where transfer of amino acids to growing peptide chains is prevented (perhaps by suppression of peptidyl transferase activity), thus inhibiting peptide bail germination and subsequent protein synthesis.

Protein binding

Plasma poly peptide binding is 50-60% in adults and 32% is premature neonates.

Metabolism

One-half-life

Half-life in adults with normal hepatic and renal function is one.v - 3.5 hours. In patients with impaired renal part half-life is iii - four hours. In patients with severely impaired hepatic function half-life is 4.6 - 11.6 hours. Half-life in children 1 month to sixteen years erstwhile is 3 - 6.5 hours, while half-life in infants 1 to 2 days old is 24 hours or longer and is highly variable, especially in low birth-weight infants.

Toxicity

Oral, mouse: LD50 = 1500 mg/kg; Oral, rat: LD50 = 2500 mg/kg. Toxic reactions including fatalities have occurred in the premature and newborn; the signs and symptoms associated with these reactions have been referred to as the gray syndrome. Symptoms include (in order of appearance) intestinal amplification with or without emesis, progressive pallid cyanosis, vasomotor collapse ofttimes accompanied by irregular respiration, and decease within a few hours of onset of these symptoms.
