Description

Bromamphenicol CAS NO 17371-30-1 is a halogenated derivative of chloramphenicol, characterized by the substitution of a bromine atom, which can significantly alter its biological activity and physicochemical properties. This modification is of high interest in pharmaceutical research and development for creating novel antibiotic candidates or biochemical probes. It serves as a critical intermediate for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and life science sectors seeking to explore new therapeutic agents or study structure-activity relationships.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key building block in the synthesis of novel antibiotic compounds and other active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Biochemical Research: Used as a reference standard or probe in microbiological and pharmacological studies to investigate antibiotic resistance and mechanisms of action.
• Agrochemical Development: Acts as a precursor in the research and synthesis of new crop protection agents with potential antibacterial properties.
• Veterinary Medicine: Explored for the development of antibacterial treatments specifically formulated for animal health.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: Utilized in laboratories for method development, analytical testing, and exploring new chemical entities.

Quality Control

Our Bromamphenicol is produced and tested under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research and development purposes. We provide comprehensive analytical data, including HPLC purity, identity confirmation (IR, NMR), and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is supplied with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Keep away from incompatible materials. For long-term storage, consider conditions under an inert atmosphere to maintain stability.
