Verwenden
Lincomycin is a polar, water soluble, broad spectrum antibiotic first isolated from Streptomyces licolnensis by researchers at Upjohn in 1962. Lincomycin was the first of a unique structural class, the lincosamides, containing a rare amino acid, 4-propyl-N-methylproline, coupled to an equally rare aminomethylthio-octopyranoside sugar. Lincomycin and semi-synthetic analogues are often incorrectly considered to be aminoglycosides but share little or no structural similarity. Lincomycin is a broad spectrum antibiotic with activity against anaerobic bacteria and protozoans. Lincomycin acts by binding to the 23S ribosomal subunit, blocking protein synthesis. Lincomycin has been extensively studied with over 7,000 literature citations.
Definition
ChEBI: A carbohydrate-containing antibiotic produced by the actinomyces Streptomyces lincolnensis.
Antimicrobial activity
Lincomycin has an antibacterial effect with respect to Gram-positive microorganisms
(staphylococci, streptococci, pneumococci, diphtheria bacillus, and clostridia). It is used
for serious bacterial infections: sepsis, osteomyelitis, septic endocarditis, pneumonia, pulmonary abscess, infected wounds, and purulent meningitis. Lincomycin is a reserve drug
for infections caused by strains of staphylococci and other Gram-positive microorganisms
that are resistant to penicillin and other antibiotics. Synonyms of this drug are lincocin,
mycivin, albiotic, and others.
Allgemeine Beschreibung
Lincomycin was found in the culture broth of Streptomyces lincolnensis var. lincolnensis by the Upjohn Co. in 1962. It shows antibacterial activity similar to that of the macrolide antibiotics and also shows excellent activity against anaerobic bacteria. Lincomycin is used clinically in combination with other classes of antibiotics for postoperative, gynecological, urinary tract, ear and nose, and other infections.
Kontakt-Allergie
Lincomycin is an antibiotic of the lincosanide group，active against Gram-positive bacteria. Occupational
exposure occurs in poultry and pig breeders
Clinical Use
Lincomycin is a natural product isolated from fermentations of Streptomyces lincolnensisvar. lincolnensis. It
is active against Gram-positive organisms, including some anaerobes. It is indicated for the treatment of
serious infections caused by sensitive strains of streptococci, pneumococci, and staphylococci. It generally
is reserved for patients who are allergic to penicillin because of the increased risk of pseudomembranous
colitis. It also serves as the starting material for the synthesis of clindamycin (by a SN-2
reaction that inverts the R stereochemistry of the C-7 hydroxyl to a C-7 S-chloride).
