    Tulathromycin A

    NT$3,756.87 - NT$22,637.55

    Tulathromycin is a semi-synthetic derivative of erythromycin belonging to the ring expanded aza-erythromycins. Ring expansion improves the acid lability compared with the parent erythromycins. Tulathromycin is regarded as the first of the triamilides, structurally similar to azithromycin and having a third amino (propylaminomethylene) group on a sugar to improve absorption. This modification provides a stable mixture of Tulathromycin isomers when in aqueous solution, in a 9:1 ratio.  Tulamycin A (CP-472,295 a 15-ring member) is the major component, and Tulathromycin B (CP-547,272, a 13-ring member) the minor component.  It is used in animal research applicaitons, and is active against the bacteria causing bovine and swine bacterial respiratory diseases. LC-MS methods have been reported for Tulathromycin in plasma and tissue samples in cattle, swine, goats, and foals.

    Tulathromycin A is soluble in ethanol and DMSO but is practically insoluble in water.

    Molecular Formula C41H79N3O12
    Mechanism of Action Tulathromycin A binds to the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, interfering with bacterial protein synthesis.
    Spectrum Tulathromycin A is effective against Gram-negative bacteria with mixed bacteriostatic and bactericidal activity.
    Eukaryotic Cell Culture Applications Tulathromycin A was used to assess primary DNA damage using in vitro Comet assay in isolated rat lymphocytes. Lymphocytes were treated with Tulathromycin (1-100 µM) and co-treatment with an antioxidant, catalase (100 IU/ml and 500 IU/ml). The highest concentrations of Tulathromycin (50 and 100 µM) caused significant increase of DNA damage in rat lymphocytes and catalase did not significantly reduce the DNA-damaging effect of Tulathromycin. The results of this study indicate that Tulathromycin induces genotoxic effects at high concentrations and catalase does not exert protective effect in this case (Jelena, 2015).
