Description

Lumifusidic Acid CAS NO 3482-49-3 is a semi-synthetic antibiotic derived from fusidic acid, belonging to the fusidane class. It serves as a crucial intermediate in the synthesis of advanced pharmaceutical compounds, particularly for its potent antibacterial activity against Gram-positive organisms. This high-purity chemical is essential for research and development laboratories, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and fine chemical synthesis units focused on developing novel anti-infective therapies.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Primary use in the synthesis of novel fusidic acid derivatives and other antibiotic agents.
• Antibacterial Research: Key reference standard and active material in microbiological and pharmacological studies targeting staphylococcal infections.
• Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) Synthesis: Serves as a critical building block in the multi-step production of finished dosage forms.
• Veterinary Medicine Development: Used in R&D for creating antibacterial treatments for animal health.
• Biochemical Research: Employed in studies investigating protein synthesis inhibition and bacterial resistance mechanisms.

Quality Control

Our Lumifusidic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR, to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for pharmaceutical R&D. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with batch-specific data are provided to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation.
