Description

Kanamycin B Sulfate is a semi-synthetic aminoglycoside antibiotic derived from kanamycin. It is valued for its potent bactericidal activity against a broad spectrum of Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacteria. This compound is essential for research and development in microbiology, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and as a selective agent in cell culture media.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a key starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of advanced antibiotic formulations.
• Microbiological Research: Used in laboratory studies to investigate bacterial resistance mechanisms and antibiotic efficacy.
• Cell Culture & Biotechnology: Employed as a selective agent in mammalian cell culture to prevent bacterial contamination.
• Veterinary Medicine: A component in the development of treatments for bacterial infections in animals.
• Reference Standard: Utilized as a high-purity analytical standard for quality control and method validation in pharmacopeial testing.
