Description

Erythromycin Thiocyanate is a thiocyanate salt derivative of the macrolide antibiotic erythromycin, primarily used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of veterinary pharmaceuticals. Its significance lies in its role as a precursor for producing water-soluble erythromycin formulations, which are critical for effective animal health treatments. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the veterinary pharmaceutical and animal feed additive industries, where it is processed into final dosage forms for combating bacterial infections in livestock and poultry.

Application

• Veterinary Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Primary raw material for manufacturing injectable and oral erythromycin preparations for livestock.
• Animal Feed Additive Production: Used in the synthesis of premixes to promote growth and prevent disease in poultry and swine.
• API Synthesis: Serves as a crucial starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of various erythromycin-based active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Research & Development: Utilized in pharmaceutical R&D for studying macrolide antibiotic derivatives and their mechanisms of action.
• Aquaculture: Employed in the development of treatments for bacterial infections in farmed fish and shellfish.

Quality Control

Our Erythromycin Thiocyanate is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical intermediate use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided with every shipment. While produced to meet general pharmacopeial guidelines for impurities and assay, specifications can be aligned with specific customer requirements.

Storage

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