  3. Nov 14, 2013 · Erythromycin: clinical use as a motilin receptor agonist. Erythromycin is used to induce rapid intubation or endoscopy, remove gastric contents prior to endoscopy or surgery (Levy et al., 2004; Carbonell et al., 2006), treat patients with gastroparesis (DiBaise and Quigley, 1999; Maganti et al., 2003; Ritz et al., 2005) or chronic intestinal ...

  5. Jul 2, 2023 · The erythromycin cannot bind to the ribosome, and the bacteria can continue protein synthesis. Aside from being a bacteriostatic macrolide antibiotic, erythromycin is a pro-motility drug. It is an agonist to motilin, which increases motility in the gut. Pharmacokinetics

  7. Erythromycin A (EMA) is a potent stimulator of gastrointestinal motor activity. In vitro studies suggest that it mimics motilin, a peptide that stimulates motor activity in human and in rabbit via smooth muscle receptors.

    Erythromycin increases gut motility by binding to motilin receptor, thus it is a motilin receptor agonist in addition to its antimicrobial properties. It can be therefore administered intravenously as a stomach emptying stimulant.
