Description and Uses
16-Epi-deacetyl-fusidic Acid (Fusidic Acid EP Impurity I) is a metabolite of fusidic acid (F865500) which is a bacteriostatic antibiotic. Fusidic Acid suppresses nitric oxide lysis of pancreatic islet cells and inhibits protein synthesis in prokaryotes by inhibiting the ribosome-dependent activity of G factor and translocation of peptidyl-tRNA.
