Description
Curator's Comment: Description was created based on several sources, including: http://www.drugbank.ca/drugs/DB01369 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15059283

Quinupristin is an antibiotic compound and a semisynthetic derivative of pristinamycin Ia. Quinupristin is a combination of three peptide macrolactones. Quinupristin is used in combination with dalfopristin, another antibiotic, under the trade name Synercid. Synercid is indicated for treatment of complicated skin and skin structure infections caused by methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes. The mechanism of action of quinupristin is inhibition of the late phase of protein synthesis in the bacterial ribosome. Quinupristin binds to 23S rRNA within the 50S ribosomal subunit and prevents elongation of the polypeptide as well as causing incomplete chains to be released. Adverse reactions to Synercid include inflammation at infusion site, rash, nausea, vomiting and others.
