Description:

Azithromycin ( Cas No.: 83905-01-5 ) is a macrolide derived from erythromycin. Azithromycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic which is widely used to treat variety of bacterial infections by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis through binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit. It results in prevention and multiplication of bacterial growth. Azithromycin shows action against both gram positive and gram-negative bacteria, as well as a pathogen such as Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia trachomatis, and Legionella pneumophila.

Azithromycin exhibits extended half-life and tissue penetration which allows shorter treatment courses, enhancing patient compliance. Azithromycin is used to treat diseases such as respiratory tract infections, skin infections, ear infections, and sexually transmitted diseases.

  • Follow GMP material handling procedures

  • Refer to Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed safety guidance

This API is intended exclusively for pharmaceutical manufacturing and formulation use.

Mechanism of Actions

Azithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit of susceptible microorganisms. This action prevents peptide chain elongation and bacterial growth, exerting bacteriostatic activity against a broad spectrum of Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens. Its mechanism supports therapeutic use in respiratory, skin, and systemic infections.

Safety Precautions

  • Handle in approved pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities

  • Avoid exposure without protective equipment

  • Prevent dust generation and inhalation

  • Follow GMP containment procedures

  • Dispose according to regulatory guidelines

Storage

  • Store in tightly closed containers

  • Protect from moisture and light

  • Maintain controlled room temperature

  • Keep in designated API storage areas

  • Follow GMP warehouse practices
