clindamycin hydrochloride

Clindamycin hydrochloride (Clinimycin HCl) inhibits protein synthesis by acting on the 50S ribosomal. It is the hydrochloride salt form of clindamycin, a semi-synthetic, chlorinated broad-spectrum antibiotic produced by chemical modification of lincomycin. Clindamycin hydrochloride(Clinimycin HCl) is used as a solid in capsules.

Clindamycin hydrochloride monohydrate (Clindamycin alcoholate) is a protein synthesis inhibitor used orally, capable of diminishing virulence factor expression in Staphylococcus aureus at sub-minimum inhibitory concentrations (sub-MICs). It acts by suppressing Panton-Valentine leucocidin (PVL), toxic-shock-staphylococcal toxin (TSST-1), and alpha-haemolysin (Hla) production. Resistance to this compound emerges through enzymatic methylation at the antibiotic's 50S ribosomal subunit binding site (23S rRNA).

Clindamycin palmitate hydrochloride (Clindamycin palmitate HCl) is a water soluble hydrochloride salt of the ester of clindamycin and palmitic acid and a lincosamide antibiotic.

Clindamycin phosphate hydrochloride (Clindamycin 2-phosphate), a broad-spectrum bacteriostatic lincosamide antibiotic, serves as a prodrug of Clindamycin. It lacks antimicrobial activity in vitro; however, through phosphatase ester hydrolysis, it is rapidly converted to the active form, Clindamycin, in vivo. This compound is utilized in the research of acne and bacterial vaginosis [1] [2] [3].

Pirlimycin Hydrochloride, a Clindamycin analog, is a semi-synthetic lincosaminide antibiotic.
