Clindamycin hydrochloride is the hydrated hydrochloride salt of clindamycin. Clindamycin is a semisynthetic antibiotic produced by a 7(S)-chloro-substitution of the 7(R)-hydroxyl group of the parent compound lincomycin. Clindamycin inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 50S subunit of the ribosome. It has activity against Gram-positive aerobes and anaerobes as well as some Gram-negative anaerobes.

Lincomycin (LINCOCIN®) is an antibiotic produced by Streptomyces lincolnensis (Streptomycetaceae family). It has been used in the treatment of staphylococcal, streptococcal, and Bacteroides fragilis infections. Lincomycin (LINCOCIN®) inhibits protein synthesis in susceptible bacteria by binding to the 50S subunits of bacterial ribosomes and preventing peptide bond formation upon transcription. It is usually considered bacteriostatic, but may be bactericidal in high concentrations or when used against highly susceptible microorganisms.

PZ-128 (also known as P1pal7 ) is a cell-penetrating pepducin inhibitor of PAR1 that targets the receptor-G-protein interface on the inside surface of platelets. In preclinical studies, PZ-128 suppresses PAR1 aggregation and arterial thrombosis in guinea pigs and baboons and strongly synergized with oral clopidogrel. PZ-128 shows potent anti-metastatic and anti-angiogenic activity in Breast, Ovarian, and Lung Cancer preclinical studies. In clinical trials, PZ-128 shows a promising antiplatelet activity that provides rapid, specific, dose-dependent, and reversible inhibition of platelet protease-activated receptor-1 through a novel intracellular mechanism.
