Chloramphenicol Succinic Acid
An ester form of chloramphenicol used as a prodrug for parenteral administration, requiring hydrolysis to the active drug in the body. Like other parenteral chloramphenicol preparations, it carries the same risk of aplastic anemia and gray baby syndrome in neonates. Its use is generally reserved for severe infections where benefits outweigh the serious risks.
Mecanismo de acción
Administered as an inactive precursor that is metabolically converted to its active form in the body. This prodrug design improves bioavailability, absorption, or targeted delivery compared to the active compound.
