Description

N-Methyl-D-glucamine is a gadolinium chelate that has been used as a contrast agent in magnetic resonance imaging. It is also an antimicrobial agent that binds to DNA and RNA, inhibiting their synthesis. N-Methyl-D-glucamine has been shown to have strong antitumor activity against carcinoma cell lines in vitro. This drug also inhibits the growth of bacteria such as Leishmania, which causes cutaneous leishmaniasis. N-Methyl-D-glucamine can be used for the treatment of infections caused by methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or Mycobacterium tuberculosis due to its ability to inhibit protein synthesis and bacterial growth. MEGLUMINE is an experimental model for human serum with high water solubility and low toxicity. It belongs to the class of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). The MEGLUM
