Product Data
Biological target:
Clindamycin is an oral protein synthesis inhibitory agent that has the ability to suppress the expression of virulence factors in Staphylococcus aureus at sub-inhibitory concentrations (sub-MICs).
In vitro activity:
Of the six S. aureus strains tested, three stains carried the lukS-PVL gene. For these three strains, the sub-MICs of clindamycin significantly decreased PVL release compared to that of the growth control (without antibiotics) (Fig. 1b). Reference: Ann Clin Microbiol Antimicrob. 2018; 17: 38. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6195712/
In vivo activity:
The present study investigated the effects of clindamycin in acute and chronic models of pain and inflammation in mice and the underlying mechanisms. Tactile hypersensitivity and paw edema induced by intraplantar (i.pl.) injection of carrageenan were attenuated by previous administration of clindamycin (200 and 400 mg/kg, i.p.). Clindamycin (100, 200 and 400 mg/kg, i.p.) also attenuated ongoing tactile hypersensitivity and paw edema induced by i.pl. injection of complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA). The antinociceptive activity of clindamycin (400 mg/kg, i.p.) in the hot plate model was attenuated by previous administration of naltrexone (5 and 10 mg/kg, i.p.), but not glibenclamide or AM251. CFA-induced production of TNF-α and CXCL-1 was reduced by clindamycin (400 mg/kg, i.p.). Concluding, clindamycin exhibits activities in acute and chronic models of pain and inflammation.
