Chloramphenicol (Eye/Ear Drops)

About Chloramphenicol (Eye/Ear Drops)

Bacteriostatic broad-spectrum antibiotic, ophthalmic antibacterial agent for ocular infections.

Mechanism of Action of Chloramphenicol (Eye/Ear Drops)

Chloramphenicol is a broad spectrum antibiotic which is primarily bacteriostatic at low concentration and exerts bactericidal action at higher concentration. It acts by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. Chloramphenicol attaches to 50S subunit of ribosome and interfering with transfer of elongating peptide chain to the newly attached aminoacyl-tRNA at the ribosome-m RNA complex. It prevents the access of aminoacyl-tRNA to the acceptor site for amino acid incorporation. By acting as a peptide analogue it inhibits peptide bond formation.
Chloramphenicol eye/ear drops or eye ointment which are applied to the eye/ear directly act on the bacteria which produces infection.

Pharmacokinets of Chloramphenicol (Eye/Ear Drops)
