Description

Bromamphenicol CAS NO 16803-75-1 is a halogenated derivative of chloramphenicol, a broad-spectrum antibiotic. This compound serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of novel antimicrobial agents and for research into antibiotic resistance mechanisms. It is essential for pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, chemical synthesis units, and academic institutions focused on developing next-generation therapeutic compounds.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Critical building block for the synthesis of advanced antibiotic analogs and prodrugs.
• Antimicrobial Research: Used in biochemical studies to investigate structure-activity relationships (SAR) and bacterial resistance pathways.
• Reference Standard: Serves as a high-purity analytical standard for quality control and method development in pharmaceutical analysis.
• Chemical Synthesis: Employed in organic synthesis to introduce specific halogenated motifs into complex molecules.
• Life Science Research: Utilized in microbiological and pharmacological research to study the effects of halogen substitution on biological activity.
