Bromamphenicol is a dibrominated derivative of the antibiotic chloramphenicol.1 It inhibits rat liver mitochondrial and E. coli protein synthesis by 90.6 and 98.8%, respectively, when used at a concentration of 93 μM, and inhibits DNA synthesis in human lymphoblastoid cells by 83% at 1 mM. Bromamphenicol can also bind to the major adhesin subunit DraE from E. coli.2 | [Uses]
Bromamphenicol (Compound Ib) is a derivative of chloramphenicol (HY-B0239), and exhibits antibacterial activity. Bromamphenicol binds to S50 ribosomal subunit, interfers with the activity of peptidyl transferase, and exhibits inhibitory activity against protein synthesis[1]. | [References]
