Description

Epicillin CAS NO 26774-90-3 is a semisynthetic, broad-spectrum aminopenicillin antibiotic belonging to the β-lactam class. It is valued for its activity against a range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, offering a crucial tool in antimicrobial research and development. This compound is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, academic institutions, and manufacturers of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for the synthesis and study of antibiotic derivatives.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of more complex antibiotic agents and novel β-lactam compounds.
• Antimicrobial Research: Used in microbiological and pharmacological studies to investigate bacterial resistance mechanisms, structure-activity relationships (SAR), and new therapeutic applications.
• Reference Standard: Employed as a high-purity analytical standard in quality control (QC) laboratories for method development, validation, and impurity profiling in pharmaceutical analysis.
• Biochemical Studies: Applied in enzymatic studies to understand the interaction between β-lactam antibiotics and penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs).
• Veterinary Medicine Development: Investigated for potential applications in developing antibacterial treatments for veterinary use.

Quality Control

Our Epicillin is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity suitable for research applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, assay, and impurity profiling via advanced techniques like HPLC. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

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.
