Description

Ardacin CAS NO 117742-13-9 is a glycopeptide antibiotic complex, primarily consisting of actaplanin factors, known for its potent activity against Gram-positive bacteria. This compound is critical for research and development in combating antibiotic-resistant pathogens and for studying novel antibacterial mechanisms. It is an essential material for pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, biotechnology companies, and academic institutions focused on microbiology and infectious disease research.

Application

• Antibacterial Research: Used as a reference standard and active agent in studies targeting Gram-positive bacteria, including MRSA and VRE.
• Mechanism of Action Studies: Employed to investigate the inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis, specifically binding to the D-alanyl-D-alanine terminus of cell wall precursor units.
• Microbiological Assay Development: Serves as a critical component in developing and validating assays for antibiotic potency and resistance profiling.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Acts as a key starting material or intermediate in the synthesis and development of novel glycopeptide antibiotics.
• Veterinary Medicine Research: Explored for potential applications in animal health to treat bacterial infections.

Quality Control

Our Ardacin is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for research purposes. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, potency, and identification data. We adhere to relevant standards for high-purity biochemicals to support your critical R&D and analytical work.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
