Description

Aurodox CAS NO 12704-90-4 is a polyether antibiotic compound belonging to the monensin family, valued for its potent ionophoric activity. This property makes it a critical agent for modulating ion transport across biological membranes, which is fundamental in both research and industrial applications. It is primarily sought by the animal health sector for its growth-promoting and anticoccidial effects, as well as by researchers in biochemistry and microbiology for studying ion transport mechanisms and developing novel antimicrobial strategies.

Application

• Animal Feed Additive: Used as a growth promoter and feed efficiency enhancer in poultry and livestock.
• Anticoccidial Agent: Employed in veterinary medicine to prevent and control coccidiosis in poultry.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a valuable ionophore tool in studies of transmembrane ion transport, particularly for sodium and potassium ions.
• Microbiological Studies: Used as a selective agent in microbial culture media and for investigating antibiotic resistance mechanisms.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Acts as a key starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of more complex therapeutic agents.
