Dalfopristin (mesylate) is a streptogramin antibiotic and a 50S ribosome inhibitor. Streptogramins are produced by a variety of Streptomyces sp as a mixture (ratio of 7:3) of two chemically unrelated compounds, type A and B. Dalfopristin, the type A Strep
Tigecycline hydrate (GAR-936 hydrate) is a broad spectrum glycylcycline antibiotic. Tigecycline hydrate is bacteriostatic, that inhibits protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit of bacteria and thereby blocking entry of Aminoacyl-tRNA into the A site of the ribosome during prokaryotic translation. Tigecycline hydrate is active against resistant strains of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria .
Demeclocycline calcium is a semisynthetic tetracycline antibiotic which was derived from a strain of Streptomyces aureofaciens. Demeclocycline binds to bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit and prevents binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the mRNA-ribosome complex, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis. Demeclocycline also inhibits the effect of vasopressin on the renal tubules, thereby causing diuresis.
