quinupristin (mesylate) (120138503 free base)

Quinupristin is a streptogramin antibiotic. Streptogramins, a class of antibiotics, is effective in the treatment of vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus, which are two of the most rapidly growing strains of mul

Quinupristin mesylate, a streptogramin antibiotic, inhibits peptide bond formation, thereby halting the extension of polypeptide chains and facilitating the release of incomplete protein chains from bacterial ribosomal subunits [1] [2].

Quinupristin is a member of the macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin class of antibiotics. Quinupristin blocks peptide bond synthesis to prevent the extension of polypeptide chains and promote the detachment of incomplete protein chains in the bacterial ribosomal subunits[1] [2].
