Comment: This drug is used in combination with dalfopristin. Both interfere with the bacterial protein synthesis, at different stages of the translation. Quinupristin inhibits the late phase of protein synthesis, whereas dalfopristin inhibits the early phase of protein synthesis in the bacterial ribosome. In combination, both drugs are more effective than each used individually (https://go.drugbank.com/drugs/DB01369#description).
