Chloramphenicol succinate

Chloramphenicol succinate is a proagent of Chloramphenicol, with Haemotoxicity. Chloramphenicol succinate also is an antibiotic. Chloramphenicol succinate is a competitive substrate and inhibitor of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) that is the possible reason for its toxicity[1][2][3][4].
