NCIt definition : A macrolide originally discovered as product of Streptomyces ambofaciens, with antibacterial
and antiparasitic activities. Although the specific mechanism of action has not been
characterized, spiramycin likely inhibits protein synthesis by binding to the 50S
subunit of the bacterial ribosome. This agent also prevents placental transmission
of toxoplasmosis presumably through a different mechanism, which has not yet been
characterized.;
