Application

Capreomycin is used to study bacterial ribosomal subunit interactions and translocation processes during protein synthesis. It is a second line antibiotic and is used to study multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Capreomycin is a cyclic peptide antibiotic that is often grouped with aminoglycosides. It binds across the ribosomal interface involving 23S rRNA helix 69 (H69) and 16S rRNA helix 44 (h44).

Preparation Note

Sparingly soluble in water.

Other Notes

Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.

Capreomycin and the structurally similar compound viomycin are cyclic peptide antibiotics which are particularly active against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, including multidrug resistant strains. Both antibiotics bind across the ribosomal interface involving 23S rRNA helix 69 (H69) and 16S rRNA helix 44
