Notes: Spiramycin is a polyketide synthase-derived macrolide antibiotic that has been found in Streptomyces.{22680,46521} It inhibits the binding of tetrahydroleucomycin A3 to E. coli ribosomes (IC50 = 1 µM) and is active against S. aureus, B. subtilis, B. cereus, and M. luteus (MICs = 3.12, 1.56, 3.12, and 0.1 µg/ml, respectively).{62185} Spiramycin protects mice from S. aureus, S. pneumoniae, and P. berghei infections (ED50s = 116.6, 167.9, and 27 mg/kg, respectively).{62186,37704} This product is a mixture of spiramycin I, II, and III, with spiramycin I being the major component.
