APPLICATIONS

Clindamycin is a semisynthetic analogue of the natural antibiotic lincomycin from which it is produced by a 7(S)-chloro-substitution of the 7(R)-hydroxyl group of lincomycin; antibacterial and antiprotozoal antibiotic of the licosamide class that inhibits protein synthesis in bacterial by binding the 50s ribosomal subunit. It is active mainly toward gram-positive microorganisms. It is used primarily in the treatment of penicillin-resistant infections and in patients allergic to penicillin. It may be used alone or with one or more other medicines. Chemical name of clindamycin is Methyl 7-chloro-6,7,8-trideoxy- 6-(1 -methyl-trans-4-propyl-L-2-pyrrolidine- carboxamido)-1 -thio-L-threo-a-o-galacto- octopyranoside.
