Mupirocin lithium  (Synonyms: BRL-4910A lithium; Pseudomonic acid lithium)

Cat. No.: HY-W108875 Purity: ≥97.0%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Mupirocin lithium is an antibiotic. Mupirocin lithium inhibits bacterial isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase, blocking protein synthesis. Mupirocin lithium has high activity against Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus and Streptococcus, as well as some Gram-negative bacteria (such as Haemophilus influenzae). Mupirocin lithium can be used in the research of diseases such as skin infections (such as MRSA infections) and chronic sinusitis.

For research use only. We do not sell to patients.

Description

Mupirocin lithium is an antibiotic. Mupirocin lithium inhibits bacterial isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase, blocking protein synthesis. Mupirocin lithium has high activity against Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus and Streptococcus, as well as some Gram-negative bacteria (such as Haemophilus influenzae). Mupirocin lithium can be used in the research of diseases such as skin infections (such as MRSA infections) and chronic sinusitis[1][2][3][4][5][6].

In Vitro

Mupirocin lithium inhibits staphylococci and streptococci (except group D streptococci), with a MIC of ≤0.5 μg/mL[1].
Mupirocin (0.1-0.2 mM; 18 h) lithium significantly increases wound closure and proliferation of human keratinocytes (HaCat) and enhances production of growth factors like HGF and PDGF-AA[4].
Mupirocin (≤125 μg/mL) lithium reduces biofilm mass by greater than 90% in all S. aureus isolates[5].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Mupirocin (2%; topical application; twice daily; 3-6 days) lithium reduces bacterial loads in murine superficial skin wounds infected with MRSA USA300[3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Female BALB/c mice (10-12 weeks old) with superficial skin wound infection induced by MRSA USA300[3]
Dosage: 2%
Administration: Topical application to the lesion area, twice daily, for 3 days or 6 days
Result: Reduced bacterial loads in the skin lesions by 2.0 log CFU after 3 days of treatment.
Reduced bacterial loads in the skin lesions by 5.1 log CFU after 6 days of treatment.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
