Product Description
Erythromycin dihyrate is a macrolide antibiotic isolated from actinomycete Streptomyces erythreus, acting by binding to bacterial 50S ribosomal subunits and inhibiting RNA-dependent protein synthesis by blockage of transpeptidation and/or translocation reactions, without affecting synthesis of nucleic acid. It exhibits a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity as well as antitumor and neuroprotective effects.
Erythromycin A dihydrate (CAS#: 59319-72-1) is a macrolide antibiotic produced by the actinomycete Streptomyces erythreus. It has molecular formula C37H71NO15 (dihydrate) and molecular weight 769.96. It exhibits a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, mycoplasma, and some protozoa. Beyond its antibacterial effects, erythromycin A dihydrate also exhibits antitumor and neuroprotective activities in different research fields. It is a marketed antibiotic used for respiratory tract, skin, and soft tissue infections, and is a research tool for studying protein synthesis inhibition and neuroprotection.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Erythromycin A dihydrate binds to the bacterial 50S ribosomal subunit. It specifically interacts with the peptidyltransferase center and blocks the translocation step of protein synthesis. This inhibits RNA-dependent protein synthesis without affecting nucleic acid synthesis. The binding site overlaps with that of other macrolides, and the compound also acts as a motilin receptor agonist, which contributes to its prokinetic effects on gastrointestinal motility. At higher concentrations, it can be bactericidal against particularly sensitive organisms.
ln Vitro
P. falciparum cannot grow in the presence of erythromycin A dihydrate, having IC50 and IC90 values of 58.2 μM and 104.0 μM, respectively[1]. Erythromycin A dihydrate (10 μM, 100 μM; 24 h, 72 h) exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It also inhibits the accumulation of 4-HNE (p<0.01) and 8-OHdG (p<0.01) and considerably lowers the production of TNF-α (p<0.01) and Iba-1 (p<0.01)[4].
Erythromycin A dihydrate inhibits the growth of Plasmodium falciparum with IC50 and IC90 values of 58.2 μM and 104.0 μM, respectively. In cultured primary cortical neurons, it shows antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects at 10 and 100 μM, suppressing the accumulation of 4-HNE (p<0.01) and 8-OHdG (p<0.01), and reducing Iba-1 and TNF-α expression (p<0.01). It improves the viability of cultured neuronal cells after oxygen-glucose deprivation.
ln Vivo
When given to mice at a dose of 5 mg/kg, erythromycin A dihydrate (0.1–50 mg/kg; 30-120 days) reduces the formation of tumors and lengthens their survival period[3]. Even 120 days after inoculation, animals protected by erythromycin A dihydrate (gastric intubation; 5 mg/kg) survive; however, a 50 mg/kg dose shortens the mean survival period in tumor-bearing mice by 4-5 days[3]. A single infusion of 50 mg/kg of erythromycin A dihydrate (ih) protects against brain ischemia reperfusion damage in a rat model[4].
In vivo, erythromycin A dihydrate exhibits neuroprotective effects in animal models of cerebral ischemia. When administered at 10 or 100 mg/kg, it reduces oxidative stress markers and inflammatory cytokine expression in brain tissue. It also shows antitumor activity in various xenograft models through its effects on protein synthesis and cellular signaling. As a motilin agonist, it accelerates gastric emptying in vivo. Pharmacokinetic studies show it is well absorbed orally and distributes widely into tissues.
Enzyme Assay
For non-cell enzyme/receptor binding assays, radioligand binding is performed using [3H]erythromycin or a fluorescent macrolide probe with purified bacterial 50S ribosomal subunits. The assay buffer contains 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl2, and 50 mM NH4Cl. After incubation at 37°C for 30 minutes, bound radioligand is separated by filtration and counted. IC50 values are calculated from competition curves using non-linear regression.
Cell Assay
Cell Viability Assay[4]
Cell Types: Embryos primary cortical neuron (from the cerebral cortices of 17-day-old Sprague-Dawley rat)
Tested Concentrations: 10, 100 μM
Incubation Duration: 24, 72 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Improved the viability of cultured neuronal cells in vitro after 3 hrs (hours) oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD).
In cell-based assays, primary cortical neurons from 17-day-old Sprague-Dawley rat embryos are cultured and treated with erythromycin A dihydrate at 10 and 100 μM for 24 and 72 hours. Cell viability is measured by MTT assay. Levels of 4-HNE and 8-OHdG are measured by ELISA or immunohistochemistry. Iba-1 and TNF-α expression are assessed by Western blot or immunofluorescence. P. falciparum growth inhibition is measured by [3H]hypoxanthine incorporation.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Female ddY mice at the age of 6 weeks with EAC cells or CDF mice at the age of 6 weeks with P388 cells[3]
Doses: 0.1 mg/kg; 0.5 mg/kg; 10 mg/kg; 30 mg/kg; 50 mg/kg
Route of Administration: Gastric intubation; 30-120 days
Experimental Results: diminished tumor growth and prolonged the mean survival time of mice from the dose of 5 mg/kg, however, the 50 mg/kg dosage shortened the MST in tumorbearing mice.
Animal/Disease Models: Male SD (Sprague-Dawley) rats (8weeks old, 250-300 g)[4]
Doses: 50 mg/kg
Route of Administration: subcutaneous (sc) single injection
Experimental Results: decreased infarct volume and edema volume, improved neurological deficit.
In vivo animal protocols use Sprague-Dawley rats subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) to induce cerebral ischemia. Erythromycin A dihydrate is dissolved in saline and administered intraperitoneally at 10 or 100 mg/kg. Neurological deficits are scored. Brain infarct volume is measured by TTC staining. Oxidative stress and inflammatory markers in brain tissue are assessed by ELISA, Western blot, and immunohistochemistry. Pharmacokinetic parameters are determined by LC-MS/MS.
