Description

Dihydrostreptose is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of streptomycin and related aminoglycoside antibiotics. This compound matters significantly for research and development in the pharmaceutical sector, particularly in studies related to antibiotic synthesis and mechanism of action. It is primarily needed by fine chemical manufacturers, research institutions, and pharmaceutical companies engaged in the development of novel anti-infective agents or biosynthetic pathway analysis.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A critical building block in the chemical and enzymatic synthesis of streptomycin and dihydrostreptomycin.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a standard or substrate in studies investigating the biosynthesis and modification of aminoglycoside antibiotics.
• Microbiology Studies: Employed in research to understand bacterial resistance mechanisms and the structure-activity relationships of streptomycin-class drugs.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a chiral starting material or intermediate for the preparation of more complex, specialized carbohydrate-based molecules.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: Essential for laboratories focused on medicinal chemistry, antibiotic discovery, and metabolic engineering.

Quality Control

Our Dihydrostreptose is produced under controlled conditions to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency, suitable for research and synthesis applications. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assays and identity confirmation. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to exclude moisture. For long-term storage, consider using a desiccator.
