Тиамулин

Использование

Tiamulin is a semi–synthetic analogue of pleuromutilin in which the hydroxyacetyl side chain is replaced with a larger diethylaminoethylthioacetyl moiety, providing greater hydrophobicity and an ionisable group for salt formation and greater water solubility. Tiamulin is a potent and highly selective antibiotic active against a range of Gram positive bacteria, with no cross resistance to existing antibiotic classes due to its unique mode of action. Like pleuromutilin, it inhibits protein synthesis by binding to domain V of 23S rRNA.

Определение

ChEBI: A carbotricyclic compound that is pleuromutilin in which the hydroxyacetate group is replaced by a 2-{[2-(diethylamino)ethyl]sulfanyl}acetate group. An antibacterial drug, tiamulin is used in veterinary medicine (generally as its hydrogen fumarate salt) fo the treatment of swine dysentery caused by Serpulina hyodysenteriae.

Профиль безопасности

Poison by intramuscular and intravenous routes. Moderately toxic by ingestion and subcutaneous routes. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of SOx and NOx. See also MERCAPTANS.

Синтез

Tiamulin was synthesized by Sandoz Co. in 1973, starting from pleuromutilin produced by Pleurotus mutilus.
