Paromomycin Sulfate

SKU: orb1309761

Description

Paromomycin sulfate is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that binds to the 16S rRNA in the bacterial 30S ribosomal A-site, inducing translational misreading and inhibition of protein synthesis. It is widely used in research involving gram-negative bacterial infections, including in vitro antimicrobial studies and in vivo models of amebiasis.

Bioactivity

• In Vivo:
  Paromomycin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic, exhibits robust antimicrobial activity against a broad spectrum of Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, some protozoa, and tapeworms. In vitro analysis of amastigote sensitivity within a mouse macrophage model indicated that L. tropica and the L. major strains (ED50s: 1~5 μM) are more sensitive to Paromomycin than L. mexicana (ED50: 39 μM) and L. braziliensis (ED50: <12 μM). The L. donovani strain demonstrates moderate sensitivity (ED50: 6~18 μM), with the exception of the Indian strain, DD8, exhibiting significantly reduced susceptibility (ED50 >150 μM).
• In Vitro:
  In both clinical cases and experimental models of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), lesions caused by L. major show a faster and more complete recovery when treated with paromomycin ointment as compared to those caused by L. panamensis and L. amazonensis.
