Description

Acetylkitasamycin is a semi-synthetic derivative of the macrolide antibiotic kitasamycin, characterized by its enhanced stability and bioavailability. This compound is of significant value in veterinary medicine and pharmaceutical research for its potent antibacterial activity against Gram-positive organisms. It is primarily required by manufacturers in the animal health sector for the formulation of medicated feed and therapeutic products, as well as by research institutions developing new antimicrobial agents.

Application

• Primary active ingredient in veterinary pharmaceuticals for the treatment of respiratory and enteric infections in livestock and poultry.
• Key component in the formulation of medicated feed additives (MFAs) for growth promotion and disease prevention in animal husbandry.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of more advanced macrolide antibiotic derivatives for enhanced efficacy.
• Reference standard in analytical laboratories for quality control and regulatory testing of veterinary drug products.
• Research chemical in microbiological studies investigating mechanisms of antibiotic action and resistance.
• Used in the development of combination therapies for broader-spectrum antimicrobial coverage.

Quality Control

Our Acetylkitasamycin is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC for purity, identity confirmation by IR and NMR, and residual solvent analysis to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for pharmaceutical applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and potency.
