Identification
Common NameAzithromycin
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionAzithromycin is a broad-spectrum macrolide antibiotic with a long half-life and a high degree of tissue penetration . It was initially approved by the FDA in 1991 . It is primarily used for the treatment of respiratory, enteric and genitourinary infections and may be used instead of other macrolides for some sexually transmitted and enteric infections. It is structurally related to erythromycin . Azithromycin is a part of the _azalide_ subclass of macrolides, and contains a 15-membered ring, with a methyl-substituted nitrogen instead of a carbonyl group at the 9a position on the aglycone ring, which allows for the prevention of its metabolism. This differentiates azithromycin from other types of macrolides .
