Product Description

Erythromycin is a potent and broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to a group of drugs called macrolide antibiotics, it is produced by actinomycete Streptomyces erythreus and is an inhibitor of protein translation and mammalian mRNA splicing. It acts by binding 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, thus inhibiting growth of gram negative and gram positiove bacteria. Erythromycin is used to treat certain infections caused by bacteria, such as infections of the respiratory tract, including bronchitis, pneumonia, Legionnaires' disease (a type of lung infection), and pertussis (whooping cough; a serious infection that can cause severe coughing); diphtheria (a serious infection in the throat); sexually transmitted diseases (STD), including syphilis; and ear, intestine, gynecological, urinary tract, and skin infections.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Macrolide antibiotic
ln Vitro
P. falciparum cannot grow when erythromycin is present; its IC50 and IC90 values are 58.2 μM and 104.0 μM, respectively[1].
Erythromycin (10 μM, 100 μM; 24 h, 72 h) exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It also suppresses the accumulation of 4-HNE (p<0.01) and 8-OHdG (p<0.01) and significantly lowers the expression of TNF-α (p<0.01) and Iba-1 (p<0.01)[4].
ln Vivo
Erythromycin (gastric intubation; 0.1–50 mg/kg; 30-120 days) slows the growth of tumors and increases the amount of time that mice survive after receiving a dose of 5 mg/kg.When given at a dose of 50 mg/kg, erythromycin (gastric intubation; 5 mg/kg) shortens the mean survival time in tumor-bearing mice by 4-5 days. However, it protects mice alive even 120 days after inoculation.[3]. A single injection of erythromycin (i.h.; 50 mg/kg) protects against cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury in a rat model[4].
Enzyme Assay
Erythromycin inhibited growth of P. falciparum with IC50 and IC90 values of 58.2+/-7.7 microM and 104.0+/-10.8 microM, respectively. The activity of antimalarial drugs in combination with azithromycin or erythromycin against P. falciparum K1 were compared. Combinations of chloroquine with azithromycin or erythromycin showed synergistic effects against parasite growth in vitro. Combinations of quinine-azithromycin and quinine-erythromycin showed potentiation. Additive effects were observed in mefloquine-azithromycin and mefloquine-erythromycin combinations. Similar results were also produced by pyronaridine in combination with azithromycin or erythromycin. However, artesunate-azithromycin and artesunate-erythromycin combinations had antagonistic effects. The in vitro data suggest that azithromycin and erythromycin will have clinical utility in combination with chloroquine and quinine. The worldwide spread of chloroquine-resistant P. falciparum might inhibit the ability to treat malaria patients with chloroquine-azithromycin and chloroquine-erythromycin in areas of drug-resistant. The best drug combinations against multidrug-resistant P. falciparum are quinine-azithromycin and quinine-erythromycin [4].
Cell Assay
Cell Line: Primary cortical neuron of embryos (derived from the cerebral cortices of Sprague-Dawley rats 17 days old)
Concentration: 10, 100 μM
Incubation Time: 24, 72 hours
Result: increased the cultivated neuronal cells' viability in vitro following three hours of oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD).
Animal Protocol
Animal Model: Six-week-old female ddY mice with EAC cellsor six-week-old CDF mice with P388 cells[3] Dosage: 0.1 mg/kg; 0.5 mg/kg; 10 mg/kg; 30 mg/kg; 50 mg/kg Administration: Gastric intubation; 30-120 days Result: reduced tumor growth and extended the mice's mean survival time (5 mg/kg); in contrast, the 50 mg/kg dose caused the MST in tumor-bearing mice to be shorter.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
