Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Chloramphenicol inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit, preventing peptide bond formation.
Inhibits dihydrofolate reductase, blocking the conversion of dihydrofolic acid to tetrahydrofolic acid, thereby inhibiting bacterial thymidine synthesis and DNA replication.
