About NeomycinAn aminoglycoside, Antibiotic, Ammonium Detoxicant.Mechanism of Action of NeomycinThis aminoglycoside cause protein synthesis inhibition by "irreversibly" bind to specific 30S-subunit proteins and 16S rRNA. Specifically Neomycin binds to four nucleotides of 16S rRNA and a single amino acid of protein S12. This interferes with decoding site in the vicinity of nucleotide 1400 in 16S rRNA of 30S subunit. This region interacts with the wobble base in the anticodon of tRNA. This leads to interference with the initiation complex, misreading of mRNA so incorrect amino acids are inserted into the polypeptide leading to nonfunctional or toxic peptides and the breakup of polysomes into nonfunctional monosomes.Pharmacokinets of NeomycinAbsorption- Poorly absorbed after oral administration

About Sulphacetamide SodiumSulfonamide, Anti-infective.Mechanism of Action of Sulphacetamide SodiumSulphacetamide sodium is a sterile, topical sulfonamide which exerts its bacteriostatic action by inhibiting bacterial folate synthetase enzyme and results in inhibition of bacterial folic acid synthesis. Sulfonamides are structural analogues of PABA (Para amino benzoic acid) which is an essential constituent of bacterial folic acid. It competitively inhibits the incorporation of PABA with Pteridine residue to form dihydropteroic acid which conjugates with glutamic acid and produce Dihydrofolic acid. Also being chemically similar to PABA the sulfonamides may itself incorporated to form an altered folate which is metabolically injuriousPharmacokinets of Sulphacetamide SodiumAbsorption: After instillation into the eyes only a small amount is absorbed in to the cornea.Onset of Action for Sulphacetamide SodiumN/ADuration of Action for Sulphacetamide SodiumN/AHalf Life of Sulphacetamide SodiumN/ASide Effects of Sulphacetamide Sodium1.
