Work

This medicine is primarily used to cure bacterial infections. It acts as an inhibitor of protein synthesis by binding to the bacterial ribosome. It works by combining with 16S rRNA of the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosomes. Further, it interferes with the binding to the 30S subunit by formyl-methionyl-tRNA.
