Kitasamycin
Kitasamycin (INN) is a macrolide antibiotic The Macrolides are a class of natural products that consist of a large macrocycle, macrocyclic lactone ring to which one or more deoxy sugars, usually cladinose and desosamine, may be attached. The lactone rings are usually 14-, 15-, or 16-memb .... It is produced by ''Streptomyces kitasatoensis''. The drug has antimicrobial activity against a wide spectrum of pathogens. There are several generic names of this drug such as: * Kitasamycin (OS: BAN, JAN, USAN) * Kitasamycine (OS: DCF) * C 637 (IS) * Katasamycin (IS) * Leucomycin (IS) * Kitasamycin (PH: JP XV) * Kitasamycin Acetate (OS: JAN) * Leucomycin Acetate (IS) * Kitasamycin Acetate (PH: JP XV) * Kitasamycin Tartrate (OS: JAN) * Leucomycin Tartrate (IS) * Kitasamycin Tartrate (PH: JP XV) References Macrolide antibiotics {{Macrolides, lincosamides and streptogramins ...

Macrolide Antibiotic
The Macrolides are a class of natural products that consist of a large macrocycle, macrocyclic lactone ring to which one or more deoxy sugars, usually cladinose and desosamine, may be attached. The lactone rings are usually 14-, 15-, or 16-membered. Macrolides belong to the polyketide class of natural products. Some macrolides have antibiotic or antifungal activity and are used as pharmaceutical drugs. Rapamycin is also a macrolide and was originally developed as an antifungal, but is now used as an immunosuppressant drug and is being investigated as a potential Life extension, longevity therapeutic. Macrolides are bacteriostatic in that they suppress or inhibit bacterial growth rather than killing bacteria completely. Definition In general, any macrocyclic lactone having greater than 8-membered rings are candidates for this class. The macrocycle may contain Amine, amino nitrogen, amide nitrogen (but should be differentiated from Cyclopeptide, cyclopeptides), an oxazole ring, ...
