Description

Tetrangomycin is a bioactive angucycline quinone antibiotic isolated from various Streptomyces species. This compound matters for its significant biological activity, serving as a key intermediate and reference standard in pharmaceutical research and development. It is primarily needed by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and agrochemical industries for applications in antibiotic discovery, biochemical studies, and as a building block for novel therapeutic agents.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: As a reference standard and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) intermediate in the development of new antibiotic therapies.
• Biochemical Studies: Used to study mechanisms of antibiotic action, bacterial resistance, and structure-activity relationships (SAR) within the angucycline class.
• Microbiology & Antimicrobial Screening: Employed as a positive control in assays screening for antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria and other pathogens.
• Academic Research: A crucial tool in university and institutional labs for investigating natural product biosynthesis and engineering.
• Agrochemical Research: Exploration of potential applications in developing novel agents for plant disease control.

Quality Control

Our Tetrangomycin is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity verification and spectroscopic methods (NMR, MS) for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are available upon request to support your regulatory and quality assurance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed and in original packaging until use to maintain stability and purity.
