Azithromycin Chemical Properties,Usage,Production
The most commonly used antibiotics
Because the side effects of Azithromycin(83905-01-5) are less than Cephalosporins, now Azithromycin is the most commonly used antibiotics for bacterial infection-related diseases in our hospital clinic. This drug is a second generation semi-synthetic derivative of macrolide, whose structure is different from Erythromycin. It inserted a methyl-substituted nitrogen in 9a site of Erythromycin lactone ring, generating a 15-membered ring macrolide.
The mechanism of action of Azithromycin is similar to Erythromycin. By binding to 50S subunit susceptible ribosome, Azithromycin inhibits protein synthesis which depends on RNA to show an antibacterial effect, retaining the antibacterial spectrum of typical Erythromycin. As for activity to chlamydia, Azithromycin is similar to Erythromycin. Compared with Erythromycin, antibacterial activity for gram-negative bacteria has been significantly improved, antibacterial activity for Haemophilus influenzae and Neisseria gonorrhoeae is more four times than Erythromycin, antimicrobial activity for Legionella bacteria is more about 2 times than Erythromycin, and antibacterial activity for Enterobacteriaceae is significantly stronger than Erythromycin. The MIC of most gram-negative bacteria is less than 1μg/ml. Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes show cross-resistance on Azithromycin and Erythromycin. For toxoplasmosis and syphilis, Azithromycin also has a good role in the killing.
Pharmacokinetics
It is rapidly absorbed after oral administration, and its bioavailability is 37%. After a single oral dose of 0.5g, the peak time is 2.5 to 2.6 hours, peak plasma concentration (Cmax) is 0.4~0.45mg/L. This product is widely distributed in the body, and concentrations in each tissue are up to 10 to 100 times of the blood concentration over the same period. The plasma concentrations are high in macrophages and fibroblasts , the former can transport Azithromycin to inflammation sites. After a single dose administration of the product, elimination half-life of plasma concentration is 35 to 48 hours, more than 50% of the administered dose is excreted in the bile duct in original shape, and after 72 hours administration about 4.5% is excreted in the urine in original shape. With increasing plasma concentrations, serum protein binding rate of this product decreased. When the plasma concentration is 0.02 μg/mL, serum protein binding rate is 15%; when the blood concentration is 2 μg/mL, serum protein binding rate is 7%.
Antibacterial spectrum
1. Gram-positive aerobic bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes (A group β-hemolytic streptococcus), Streptococcus pneumoniae, α-hemolytic Streptococci (Streptococcus viridans group) and the other Streptococcus, Diphtheria (rodlike) bacteria.
2. Gram-negative aerobic bacteria, such as Haemophilus influenzae, Haemophilus parainfluenza, catarrhal bacteria, Acinetobacter, Yersinia, Legionella spp, Bordetella pertussis, parapertussis, Shigella, Pasteurella spp., Vibrio cholerae, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Shiga topiramate o Aeromonas. The activities for Escherichia coli, Salmonella enteritidis, Salmonella typhi, Enterobacter, addicted to waterborne Aeromonas and Klebsiella are not the same, and sensitivity test is needed.
3. Anaerobic bacteria, such as Bacteroides spp., Clostridium perfringens, Lactococcus digestion, digestion Streptococcus, Fusobacterium, Propionibacterium acnes.
4. Sexually transmitted disease microorganisms, such as Chlamydia trachomatis, Treponema pallidum, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Haemophilus Duke.
5. Other microorganisms, such as Borrelia burgdorferi (Lyme pathogens), Chlamydia pneumoniae, Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma urea, bending genus, mononucleosis and Lee de bacilli.
Azithromycin shows cross-resistance for Gram-positive bacteria with Erythromycin-resistant and various strains of Staphylococcus aureus with methicillin-resistant, and Gram-positive bacteria such as Proteus, Serratia, Morgan bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa are usually resistant to Azithromycin.

Clinical evaluation
Foreign reports compared the Azithromycin(83905-01-5) with Cefaclor in treatment of acute lower respiratory tract infection. Azithromycin group had 191 cases, once daily for 5 consecutive days, the first time 0.5g, after each 0.25 g; Cefaclor group had 81 cases, once 0.5 g, 3 times a day for 10 consecutive days. Clinical cure and improvement rates in both groups were 96% and 94%, respectively, while the bacteriological clearance rate was 88%.
In Huashan Hospital, Shanghai Medical University, 110 patients with respiratory tract infections were oral administration of the product, the total effective rate was 93.6%, bacterial clearance rate was 91.4%, the incidence of adverse reactions was 5.4%.
The product has an excellent effect on the genitourinary system infections caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma. Shanghai Dermatology Prevention Centre used this product to treat patients with non-gonococcal urethritis and gonorrhea, including 30 cases of chlamydia infection, 19 cases of mycoplasma infection, 28 cases of Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection, and oral administration, a single dose 1 g. The cure rates were 100%, 85%, 96.5%, respectively, and total effective rate was 100%.
Previous studies suggested that as for people with high risk of cardiovascular, Azithromycin can increase the risk of cardiovascular mortality. But research in the real world population is lacked. Therefore, there is a large-scale population study in the real world. This is a 18-64-year-old national historical cohort study in Denmark, which is related to information including the prescription registration database, causes of death in patients, and general condition of the patient in 1997 to 2010, etc. The use of Azithromycin up to 110 million treatment courses and not use of antibiotics population controls (1: 1) were evaluated. In addition, compared with 7.36 million passengers using penicillin V (also based on propensity score matching), causes of death from cardiovascular were observed.
The results showed that the use of Azithromycin and not use any antibiotics population significantly increased the risk of cardiovascular death (RR: 2.85, 95CI: 1.13-7.24). In the Azithromycin group, 17 patients died. In the penicillin V group, 146 patients died (RR: 0.93,95% CI: 0.56-1.55). Azithromycin does not increase the risk of cardiovascular death in young and elderly patients.
Uses
Azithromycin(83905-01-5) is used to treat certain bacterial infections, such as bronchitis; pneumonia; sexually transmitted diseases (STD); and infections of the ears, lungs, sinuses, skin, throat, and reproductive organs.As for Gram-negative bacteria such as Haemophilus influenzae, Salmonella, E. coli, Shigella bacteria, it have strong antibacterial activity. And it is acid stable and well tolerated. It has a very good therapeutic effect on respiratory tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, sexually transmitted diseases which are caused by sensitive bacteria.
Production methods
Azithromycin(83905-01-5) is prepared by using erythromycin A as raw material, after oximation, Beckmann rearrangement under the action of hydrochloric acid, and then dehydration, reduction and methylation.
Description
Azithromycin was the first of the azalides and was designed to improve the stability and biological half-life of erythromycin A, as well as improve activity against Gram negative bacteria. Azithromycin is a long-acting macrolide antibiotic structurally related to erythromycin A (EA), having a methyl-substituted nitrogen at position 9a in the aglycone ring.
Chemical Properties
White Crystalline Powder
Originator
Pliva (Yugoslavia)
Uses
Azithromycin is an azalide macrolide antibiotic.
Indications
Azithromycin in a 500-mg dose three times a week has been shown to yield a 60% reduction in inflammatory papules in 83% of patients enrolled in a 12- week study. There is no associated pseudotumor cerebri and, therefore, it can be used for an acne flare during early Accutane therapy.
Definition
ChEBI: Azithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic useful for the treatment of bacterial infections. It is an azalide, derived from erythromycin, and a member of a subclass of macrolide antibiotics with bacteriocidal and bacteriostatic activities.
Manufacturing Process
To a solution of 0.54 g (0.000722 mole) of 11 aza-10-deoxo-10- dihydroerythromycin A in 20 ml CHCl3 were added 0.0589 ml (0.000741 mole) of formaldehyde (approx. 35% w./w.) and 0.00283 g (0.000735 mole) of formic acid (approx. 98 to 100% w./w.). The reaction mixture was stirred for 8 hours while heating under reflux, then cooled to ambient temperature, whereupon were added 15 ml of water (pH 5.8). The pH of the reaction mixture was adjusted to 5.0 by means of 2 N HCl, whereupon the CHCl3 layer was separated. To the aqueous part was added 15 ml of CHCl3, the pH of the reaction suspension was adjusted to 7.5 by means of 20% NaOH, the layers were separated and subsequently the aqueous layer was extracted three times with 15 ml of CHCl3. The combined chloroform extracts having pH 7.5 were dried over K2CO3 and evaporated under reduced pressure, yielding 0.45 g (82.4%) of N-methyl-11-aza-10-deoxo-10-dihydro erythromycin A (azithromycin), m.p. 113°-115°C. [α]D 20= - 37.0 (1% in CHCl3).

Therapeutic Function
Antibiotic
Antimicrobial activity
It is less potent than erythromycin A against Gram-positive isolates, but is more active against Gram-negative bacteria. It is four times more potent than erythromycin A against H. influenzae, N. gonorrhoeae and Campylobacter spp., and twice as active against Mor. catarrhalis. It also exhibits superior potency against Enterobacteriaceae, notably Esch. coli, Salmonella enterica serotypes, and Shigella spp. It is active against Mycobacteria, notably the M. avium complex and against intracellular micro-organisms such as Legionella and Chlamydia spp.
Chemical modification at the 9 position of the erythronolide A ring of erythromycin A blocks the internal ketalization and markedly improves acid stability. At pH 2, loss of 10% activity occurred in less than 4 s with erythromycin A, but took 20 min with azithromycin. The AUC at 0–24 h is 4.5 mg.h/L. The level is only slightly increased on repeated dosing.
Binding to plasma protein varies with the concentration, from around 50% at 0.05 mg/L to 7.1% at 1 mg/L. The apparent elimination half-life is dependent upon sampling interval: between 8 and 24 h it ranged from 11 to 14 h; between 24 and 72 h it was 35–40 h.
It rapidly penetrates the tissues, reaching levels that approach or, in some cases, exceed the simultaneous plasma levels and persist for 2–3 days. Only about 6% of the dose is found in urine in the first 24 h.
General Description
The spectrum of antimicrobial activity of azithromycin issimilar to that observed for erythromycin and clarithromycinbut with some interesting differences. In general,it is more active against Gram-negative bacteria and less activeagainst Gram-positive bacteria than its close relatives.The greater activity of azithromycin against H. influenzae,M. catarrhalis, and M. pneumoniae coupled with its extendedhalf-life permits a 5-day dosing schedule for thetreatment of respiratory tract infections caused by thesepathogens. The clinical efficacy of azithromycin in the treatmentof urogenital and other sexually transmitted infectionscaused by Chlamydia trachomatis, N. gonorrhoeae, H.ducreyi, and Ureaplasma urealyticum suggests that singledosetherapy with it for uncomplicated urethritis or cervicitismay have advantages over use of other antibiotics.
Biological Activity
Azithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic. It is active against S. pneumoniae, S. aureus, N. gonorrhoeae, M. pneumoniae, H. pylori, C. trachomatis, and H. influenzae in vitro (MIC90s = <0.01-2 mg/L). Azithromycin increases survival in mouse models of intraperitoneal S. pyogenes, S. pneumoniae, E. faecalis, or H. influenzae infection (ED50s = 0.78, 8.7, 12.7, and 30.3 mg/kg, respectively). It inhibits replication of severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), but not Middle East respiratory syndrome CoV (MERS-CoV), when used at concentrations of 5 and 10 μM. Azithromycin also decreases plasma levels of IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β and increases survival in a mouse model of LPS-induced sepsis when administered at a dose of 100 mg/kg. Formulations containing azithromycin have been used in the treatment of a variety of bacterial infections.

Clinical Use
This product is suitable for the treatment of the following symptoms of infection caused by susceptible bacteria:
1. For acute pharyngitis and acute tonsillitis caused by Streptococcus pyogenes and for nasosinusitis, acute otitis media, acute bronchitis, and acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis caused by sensitive bacteria.
2. For pneumonia caused by Mycoplasma pneumonia, Streptococcus pneumonia and Haemophilus influenza.
3. For urethritis, cervicitis and pelvic inflammatory disease caused by chlamydia and non-multiple drug resistance Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and for simple genital infection caused by non-multiple drug resistance Neisseria gonorrhoeae (exclude co-infection of Misu spirochetes).
4. For skin and soft tissue infections caused by sensitive bacteria.
Side effects
Azithromycin is well tolerated with little gastrointestinal disturbance.
Veterinary Drugs and Treatments
Azithromycin with its relative broad spectrum and favorable pharmacokinetic
profile may be useful for a variety of infections in
veterinary species. Little data is published at this time, however.
Azithromycin has been shown to be ineffective in the treatment of
Mycoplasma haemofelis in cats.
Azithromycin may be potentially useful for treating Rhodococcus
infections in foals.
Drug interactions
Potentially hazardous interactions with other drugs
Anti-arrhythmics: increased toxicity with
disopyramide; increased risk of ventricular
arrhythmias with dronedarone - avoid.
Antibacterials: possibly increased rifabutin
concentration (increased risk of uveitis and
neutropenia) - reduce dose of rifabutin.
Anticoagulants: effect of coumarins may be enhanced.
Antidepressants: the manufacturer of reboxetine
advises to avoid concomitant use.
Antihistamines: may inhibit the metabolism of
mizolastine (risk of hazardous arrhythmias) - avoid.
Antimalarials: avoid with artemether/lumefantrine;
increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias with
piperaquine with artenimol - avoid.
Antipsychotics: increased risk of ventricular
arrhythmias with droperidol - avoid.
Antivirals: concentration possibly increased by ritonavir.
Ciclosporin: may inhibit the metabolism of
ciclosporin (increased ciclosporin levels).
Colchicine: treatment with both agents has been
shown in a study to increase the risk of fatal
colchicine toxicity, especially in patients with renal
impairment - avoid.
Ergot alkaloids: increased risk of ergotism - avoid.
Statins: possible increased risk of myopathy with
atorvastatin and simvastatin.
Metabolism
In pharmacokinetic studies it has been demonstrated that the concentrations of azithromycin measured in tissues are noticeably higher (as much as 50 times) than those measured in plasma, which indicates that the agent strongly binds to tissues. Azithromycin is excreted in bile mainly as unchanged drug. Ten metabolites have also been detected in bile, which are formed through N- and O- demethylation in the liver, hydroxylation of desosamine - and aglycone rings and cleavage of cladinose conjugate. The metabolites of azithromycin are not microbiologically active
storage
-20°C
Mode of action
Azithromycin reversibly binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit of the 70S ribosome of sensitive microorganisms, thereby inhibiting the translocation step of protein synthesis, wherein a newly synthesized peptidyl tRNA molecule moves from the acceptor site on the ribosome to the peptidyl (donor) site, and consequently inhibiting RNA-dependent protein synthesis leading to cell growth inhibition and cell death.
