Fusidine Usage And Synthesis

Mode of action

Fusidic acid forms a stable complex with an elongation factor (EF-G) involved in translocation and with guanosine triphosphate (GTP), which provides energy for the translocation process. One round of translocation occurs, with hydrolysis of GTP, but the fusidic acid–EF-G–GDP complex cannot dissociate from the ribosome, thereby blocking further chain elongation and leaving peptidyl-tRNA in the P site.
Although protein synthesis in Gram-negative bacilli–and, indeed, mammalian cells–is susceptible to fusidic acid, the antibiotic penetrates poorly into these cells and the spectrum of action is virtually restricted to Gram-positive bacteria, notably staphylococci.

Description

Fusidic acid was found in the culture broth of a fungus imperfectus, Fusidium coccineum, by Leo in 1962. It has a steroid struc ture but shows no hormonal activity.

Chemical Properties

White Solid

Uses

antibacterial

Uses

Fusidic acid is a bacteriostatic antibiotic. Fusidic Acid suppresses nitric oxide lysis of pancreatic islet cells. Inhibits protein synthesis in prokaryotes by inhibiting the ribosome-dependent activity of G factor and translocation of peptidyl-tRNA. Dyes and metabolites.

Definition

ChEBI: A steroid antibiotic that is isolated from the fermentation broth of Fusidium coccineum.

brand name

Fucidine (Bristol-Myers Squibb).

Hazard

Moderately toxic inhibitor of translocation during protein synthesis.

Biological Activity

Fusidic acid shows very strong activity against Staphy lococcus aureus and weak activity against other gram-positive bacteria and gram-negative cocci and Mycobacterium.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Fusidic acid is a tetracyclic triterpenoid with antibiotic activity against Gram-positive bacteria. It is derived from Fusidium coccineum. It shows its activity against anaerobes, corynebacterial, Nocardia, and Neisseria species. Fusidic acid exhibits therapeutic effects against Staphylococcal infections, skin infections.
