Erythromycin A is normally formulated for children as its 2'-ethyl succinate, a taste-free prodrug. Unfortunately, the prodrug hydrolyzes at a measurable rate in the medicine bottle, leading to the vile-tasting erythromycin. We have prepared derivatives of erythromycin B as putative

A rapid and simple sample preparation procedure for determining residues of antibiotics of the class of macrolides and lincomycin in whole milk and yoghurt by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) is presented. The method is based on the matrix solid-phase

Journal of medicinal chemistry, 43(3), 467-474 (2000-02-12)
One of the major drawbacks in the use of the antibiotic erythromycin A is its extreme acid sensitivity, leading to degradation in the stomach following oral administration. The modern derivative clarithromycin degrades by a different mechanism and much more slowly.

Biochemistry, 41(35), 10827-10833 (2002-08-28)
An unusual feature of the 6-module pikromycin polyketide synthase (PikPKS, PikAI-PikAIV) of S. venezuelae is the ability to generate both 12- and 14-membered ring macrolides. The PikAIV component containing the last extension module and a thioesterase domain is responsible for

The Journal of antibiotics, 43(5), 544-549 (1990-05-01)
6-O-Methylerythromycin B has been synthesized from erythromycin B via regioselective methylation of the 6-hydroxyl group in 71% overall yield. This compound shows in vitro antibacterial activity comparable to erythromycins A and B and exhibits superior in vivo activity with improved
