Spiramycin III is an antibiotic chemical within the erythromycin/carbomycin group of compounds. It inhibits the binding of tetrahydroleucomycin A3 to E. coli ribosomes (IC50 = 1 µM) and is active against S. aureus, B. subtilis, B. cereus, and M. luteus (MICs = 3.12, 1.56, 3.12, and 0.1 µg/ml, respectively). Spiramycin III protects mice from S. aureus, S. pneumoniae, and P. berghei infections (ED50s = 116.6, 167.9, and 27 mg/kg, respectively).
