Description

Paromomycin is a broad-spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic derived from *Streptomyces rimosus* var. *paromomycinus*. This compound is valued for its potent activity against a wide range of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, as well as certain protozoa. It is a critical raw material for the pharmaceutical industry, primarily used in the formulation of anti-infective and anti-parasitic medications. Paromomycin CAS NO 7542-37-2 is essential for manufacturers requiring a reliable, high-purity active pharmaceutical ingredient (API).

Application

• Pharmaceutical API: Primary use as an active pharmaceutical ingredient in oral and topical formulations for the treatment of intestinal amebiasis and other parasitic infections.
• Veterinary Medicine: Incorporated into veterinary pharmaceuticals for the treatment of bacterial and protozoal infections in livestock and companion animals.
• Research & Development: Serves as a key reference standard and biochemical tool in microbiological research, antibiotic mechanism studies, and drug discovery programs.
• Combination Therapies: Used in combination with other antimicrobial agents to enhance efficacy and combat drug-resistant strains of bacteria and parasites.
