| Lefamulin |
Lefamulin is a pleuromutilin antibacterial agent. It inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by interacting with the A- and P- sites of the peptidyl transferase centre (PTC) in the central part of domain V of the 23S rRNA of the 50S ribosomal subunit, preventing correct positioning of the tRNA. Lefamulin is indicated for the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in adults. |
