General Description

• Azithromycin dihydrate is the dihydrate form of azithromycin, an azalide derived from erythromycin, that shows antibacterial activity

• Azithromycin dihydrate reversibly binds to the 23S rRNA of the 50S ribosomal subunit of the bacterial ribosome of susceptible microorganisms, inhibiting the translocation step of protein synthesis by preventing the assembly of the 50S ribosomal subunit. This inhibits bacterial protein synthesis and cell growth, causing cell death

Application

• Azithromycin dihydrate shows anti-immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory activities

• It shows antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax, which are multidrug-resistant species

• In the laboratory, azithromycin dihydrate has been used in blocking buffer for indirect immunofluorescence

• It has been used in U87 cells for cell viability assay and flow cytometry analysis to study the Zika virus infection in glial cells

• Azithromycin dihydrate has been used in experiments to compare its antibacterial activity with PYRRO-C3D against Streptococcus pneumoniae biofilms
