| ln Vitro |
P. falciparum cannot grow in the presence of erythromycin lactobionate, having IC50 and IC90 values of 58.2 μM and 104.0 μM, respectively[1]. Erythromycin lactobionate (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 lactobionate binds the 50S ribosomal subunit and inhibits RNA-dependent protein synthesis by blocking transpeptidation and/or translocation, without affecting nucleic acid synthesis. It is bacteriostatic or bactericidal depending on the organism and concentration. It is effective against many Gram-positive bacteria, atypical pathogens (Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, Legionella), and some Gram-negative organisms. It also inhibits CYP3A4, which can cause drug–drug interactions. |
| ln Vivo |
Mice given a dose of 5 mg/kg of erythromycin lactobionate (gastric intubation; 0.1–50 mg/kg; 30-120 days) have longer survival times and less tumor growth[3]. Even 120 days after inoculation, mice protected by erythromycin lactobionate (gastric intubation; 5 mg/kg) survive; however, a 50 mg/kg dose shortens the mean survival time in tumor-bearing mice by 4-5 days[3]. In the rat model of cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury, erythromycin lactobionate (ih; single injection; 50 mg/kg) has a protective effect[4].
In vivo, erythromycin lactobionate is administered intravenously for severe infections. It distributes widely to tissues and achieves therapeutic concentrations in respiratory secretions and skin. It is used for Legionnaires’ disease, pertussis, diphtheria, and chlamydial infections. Its CYP3A4 inhibition can increase plasma levels of co-administered drugs (e.g., theophylline, warfarin). |
| Enzyme Assay |
For ribosome binding assays, bacterial 50S subunits or intact 70S ribosomes are incubated with radiolabeled erythromycin and increasing concentrations of unlabeled erythromycin lactobionate. Bound radioactivity is separated by filtration, and Kd or Ki is calculated.

| 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). For antibacterial susceptibility testing, bacterial isolates are cultured in Mueller–Hinton broth and exposed to two-fold serial dilutions of erythromycin lactobionate (0.03–128 μg/mL). The MIC is determined after 18–24 h. Time–kill assays assess bactericidal kinetics, and synergy with other antibiotics is evaluated by checkerboard assays. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Female ddY mice (6 week-old) with EAC cells or CDF mice (6 week-old) 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. For in vivo efficacy, mice or rats are infected with susceptible bacteria (e.g., Streptococcus pneumoniae or Legionella pneumophila) by the respiratory or systemic route and treated with erythromycin lactobionate (e.g., 10–100 mg/kg, i.v. or i.p.) at defined intervals. Bacterial burden in lungs or blood is quantified by CFU counting, and plasma drug concentrations are measured by LC-MS/MS. |

| Additional Infomation |
Erythromycin lactobionate is the lactobionate form of erythromycin, a broad-spectrum topical macrolide antibiotic with antibacterial activity. Erythromycin lactobionate can diffuse across the bacterial cell membrane and reversibly bind to the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, thereby inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. The mechanism of action of erythromycin lactobionate depends on the drug concentration at the site of infection and the sensitivity of the pathogen, and may manifest as either bacteriostatic or bactericidal activity.
