l-Ethambutol

Description:
l-Ethambutol, with the CAS number 10054-05-4, is an organic compound primarily used as an antibiotic in the treatment of tuberculosis. It is a colorless to slightly yellow crystalline solid that is soluble in water, which facilitates its administration in aqueous solutions. The compound functions by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, specifically targeting the arabinogalactan component, thereby impeding the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. l-Ethambutol is characterized by its relatively low toxicity compared to other antitubercular agents, making it a valuable component of multi-drug regimens. Its chemical formula is C₁₂H₁₈N₂O₄, and it features a chiral center, which is significant for its biological activity. The compound is typically administered orally and is well-absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. Side effects may include visual disturbances and hypersensitivity reactions, necessitating monitoring during treatment. Overall, l-Ethambutol plays a crucial role in combating tuberculosis, particularly in combination therapies.
