Description

m-Chloramphenicol is a chlorinated derivative of the broad-spectrum antibiotic chloramphenicol, distinguished by its specific molecular substitution. This compound is a critical intermediate in pharmaceutical research and synthesis, valued for its role in developing novel antimicrobial agents and studying structure-activity relationships. It is primarily required by pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, fine chemical manufacturers, and academic institutions engaged in antibiotic development and biochemical research.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key building block in the synthesis of novel chloramphenicol analogs and specialized antibiotic compounds.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a reference standard and probe in studies investigating antibiotic mechanisms of action and bacterial resistance.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a precursor for the preparation of more complex, functionally modified chemical entities in medicinal chemistry.
• Analytical Standard: Employed in quality control laboratories for method development and as a certified reference material (CRM) for HPLC and LC-MS analysis.

Quality Control

Our m-Chloramphenicol is manufactured under a quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay, related substances, and residual solvents is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
