Biliary excretion of erythromycin after parenteral administration. 1979

P Chelvan, and J M Hamilton-Miller, and W Brumfitt

1 The biliary excretion of erythromycin has been studied following parenteral administration in 23 patients. 2 Mean bile levels of the drug were approximately ten times higher than corresponding serum concentrations 1 h after i.v. (erythromycin lactobionate) and i.m. (erythromycin ethylsuccinate) injection. 3 Thus, unlike many antimicrobial agents, these compounds are well concentrated in the bile.

In sensitive organisms, it inhibits protein synthesis by binding to 50S ribosomal subunits. This binding process inhibits peptidyl transferase activity and interferes with translocation of amino acids during translation and assembly of proteins.
