Erythromycin ethylsuccinate is a macrolide antibiotic with a target spectrum similar to penicillin.
TOKU-E offers three forms of erythromycin: erythromycin (E002), erythromycin estolate (E003), and erythromycin ethylsuccinate (E004). Erythromycin is sparingly soluble in aqueous solution (2 mg/mL). Erythromycin estolate and erythromycin ethylsuccinate are both freely soluble in organic solvents.

Macrolide antibiotics inhibit bacterial growth by targeting the 50S ribosomal subunit preventing peptide bond formation and translocation during protein synthesis. Resistance to erythromycin is commonly attributed to mutations in 50S rRNA preventing erythromycin binding allowing the cell to synthesize proteins free of error.
