Troleandomycin

Mechanism of action:
Troleandomycin is a macrolide antibiotic. It acts on the bacterial 50S ribosomal subunit by binding to the region of 23S rRNA near the peptide exit tunnel, thereby blocking translocation and peptide chain elongation. This prevents bacterial protein synthesis from proceeding and leads to growth arrest.
