Description

Etimicin CAS NO 59711-96-5 is a semi-synthetic aminoglycoside antibiotic derived from sisomicin. This compound is valued for its broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, particularly against Gram-negative bacteria, and its improved safety profile compared to earlier generation aminoglycosides. It is a critical active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) primarily required by pharmaceutical manufacturers for the formulation of injectable antibiotic treatments.

Application

• Pharmaceutical API: Primary use as the active ingredient in injectable antibiotic formulations for treating serious systemic infections.
• Veterinary Medicine: Used in the development of treatments for bacterial infections in livestock and companion animals.
• Clinical Research: Serves as a reference standard or an investigational compound in antimicrobial resistance studies and new drug development.
• Antibiotic Synthesis: Acts as a key intermediate or starting material for the synthesis of novel aminoglycoside derivatives.
