Description

Hamycin is a polyene macrolide antifungal antibiotic derived from *Streptomyces pimprina*. This compound is valued for its potent activity against a broad spectrum of pathogenic fungi and yeasts, making it a critical agent in microbiological and pharmaceutical research. It is primarily utilized by researchers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and agricultural sectors for developing antifungal treatments and studying fungal resistance mechanisms. Hamycin CAS NO 1403-71-0 represents a high-purity standard for reliable and reproducible experimental outcomes.

Application

• Antifungal Pharmaceutical Research: Serves as a reference standard and active ingredient in the development of topical and systemic antifungal medications.
• Microbiological Studies: Used in laboratory settings to study fungicidal and fungistatic mechanisms, dose-response relationships, and resistance patterns.
• Agricultural Fungicide Development: Investigated for potential use in protecting crops from fungal diseases, though primarily at the research stage.
• Cell Biology & Mycology: Employed in assays to understand fungal cell membrane integrity and ergosterol binding, given its polyene structure.
• Veterinary Medicine: Explored for treating fungal infections in animals within controlled research environments.
• Reference Standard: Provides a certified benchmark for quality control and analytical method validation in pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed in a desiccated environment away from direct light exposure to maintain stability and potency.
