DESCRIPTION:
Erythromycin Topical Gel USP, 2% contains erythromycin for topical
dermatological use.
Erythromycin is a macrolide antibiotic produced from a strain of
_Saccaropolysporaerythraea_ (formerly
_Streptomyces erythreus_). It is a base and readily forms salts with
acids. Chemically, erythromycin is:
(3_R_*,4_S_*,5_S_*,6_R_*,7_R_*,9_R_*,11_R_*,12_R_*,
13_S_*,14_R_*)-4-[(2,6-Dideoxy-3-_C_-methyl-3-_O_-methyl-_α_-L-_ribo_-
hexopyranosyl)oxy]-14-ethyl-7,12,13-trihydroxy-3,5,7,9,11,13-hexamethyl-6-[[3,4,6-trideoxy-3-
(dimethylamino)-_β_-D-_xylo_-hexopyranosyl]oxy]oxacyclotetradecane-2,10-dione.
It has the following
structural formula:
Erythromycin is a white or slightly yellow, odorless or practically
odorless, bitter crystalline powder.
Erythromycin is very soluble in very polar solvents such as alcohols,
acetone, chloroform, acetonitrile
and ethyl acetate. It is moderately soluble in less polar solvents
such as ether, dichloroethylene and
amyl acetate. It is slightly soluble in nonpolar solvents such as
hexane. It is very poorly soluble in
water.
Each gram of Erythromycin Topical Gel USP, 2% contains 20 mg of
erythromycin USP in a base of
alcohol 92% and hydroxypropyl cellulose.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY:
The exact mechanism by which erythromycin reduces lesions of acne
vulgaris is not fully known;
however, the effect appears to be due in part to the antibacterial
activity of the drug.
MICROBIOLOGY: Erythromycin acts by inhibition of protein synthesis in
susceptible organisms by
reversibly binding to 50S ribosomal subunits, thereby inhibiting
translocation of aminoacyl transfer-
RNA and inhibiting polypeptide synthesis. Antagonism has been
demonstrated _in vitro_ between
erythromycin, lincomycin, chloramphenicol, and clindamycin.
