Description

Dekamycin CAS NO 62362-62-3 is a potent macrolide antibiotic compound, also known as a pleuromutilin derivative. This compound is valued for its significant antibacterial activity, particularly against Gram-positive pathogens and mycoplasmas. It serves as a critical active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and key intermediate in the synthesis of advanced veterinary and human therapeutics. Industries such as pharmaceutical manufacturing, veterinary medicine, and advanced chemical synthesis rely on its consistent quality and efficacy.

Application

• Veterinary Pharmaceutical API: Primary use in the formulation of injectable and oral antibiotics for livestock and companion animals.
• Human Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block in the research and synthesis of novel pleuromutilin-class antibiotics for human use.
• Antimicrobial Research: A standard compound in microbiological studies for evaluating antibacterial mechanisms and resistance.
• Feed Additive Precursor: Used in the controlled production of medicated feed premixes to promote animal health.
• Reference Standard: Serves as a high-purity analytical standard for quality control laboratories in regulatory and manufacturing settings.

Quality Control

Our Dekamycin is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is tested to meet high-purity standards suitable for pharmaceutical applications, with typical purity exceeding 98.5% (by HPLC). We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) that include data for identification, assay, related substances, residual solvents, and microbiological testing. Our quality commitment ensures compliance with cGMP principles and relevant pharmacopeial guidelines for active pharmaceutical ingredients.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept under conditions that minimize exposure to atmospheric humidity to prevent degradation and clumping.
