CUMIK-500 is Aminoglycoside Antibiotic. Amikacin exerts its bactericidal action against gram- negative organisms & some of gram positive organisms by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. The process involves 1. Penetration of bacterial cell membrane & binding directly to the bacterial ribosome, 2. Misleading of m-RNA codon by bacterial ribosome, 3. Formation of peptide chains with wrong amino acid sequence which gets incorporated into bacterial cell membrane and alters it`s permeability, 4. Bacterial cell lysis. It has broadest spectrum of activity among amino glycosides. Absorption: Poorly absorbed orally, Distribution: Distributed extracellularly. CSF penetration & intraocular penetration poor. Metabolism:
