Description
  • Anthracene antibiotic.
  • Antibacterial agent. Active against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
  • Inhibits the initiation stage of bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the inter-subunit bridge B2a on the 70S ribosome.
  • Does not inhibit DNA and RNA synthesis.
  • Potent aldose reductase inhibitor.
