Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Lincomycin, also known as U-10149, is a lincosamide antibiotic that comes from the actinomycete Streptomyces lincolnensis. A related compound, clindamycin, is derived from lincomycin by using thionyl chloride to replace the 7-hydroxy group with a chlorine atom with inversion of chirality. Although similar in structure, antibacterial spectrum, and mechanism of action to macrolides, lincomycin is also effective against other organisms including actinomycetes and some species of Mycoplasma and Plasmodium. However, because of its adverse effects and toxicity, it is rarely used today and reserved for patients allergic to penicillin or where bacteria have developed resistance.

Product Data
Biological target:
Lincomycin, a lincosamide antibiotic, is an antimicrobial agent used for the research of Gram-positive bacteria infections.
In vitro activity:
Treatment with LM (lincomycin) or LM + DX (dexamethasone) stimulated proliferation of melanoma cells with minimal cytotoxicity, while DX did not influence cell proliferation either alone or in combination with LM. Treatment with LM alone increased tyrosinase activity slightly and reduced melanin content in a dose-dependent manner. However, LM counteracted the pronounced increase in tyrosinase elicited by DX and also abrogated the dose-dependent increase in melanin content elicited by DX. Reference: Pigment Cell Res. 1998 Jun;11(3):143-50. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9730321/
In vivo activity:
Lincomycin (LCM), imipenem (IPM), cilastatine (CS), and ampicillin (ABPC) were used for antibiotics treatment. The survival rate of SPG/IND-treated mice was significantly increased by administering LCM or ABPC/IPM/CS, and the effect was more significant by LCM.
