Description

Pseudomonic Acid C is a key intermediate and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) belonging to the pseudomonic acid class of compounds. It is valued for its potent antibacterial properties, particularly against Gram-positive organisms, and serves as a critical building block in pharmaceutical research and development. This compound is essential for manufacturers and research institutions focused on developing novel topical antibiotics and studying bacterial protein synthesis inhibition.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Primary use as a key precursor in the synthesis of Mupirocin, a topical antibiotic.
• Antibacterial Agent Development: Serves as a lead compound for research into new antimicrobial agents targeting bacterial isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase.
• Microbiological Research: Used in laboratory studies to investigate mechanisms of antibiotic action and bacterial resistance.
• Reference Standard: Employed as a high-purity analytical standard in quality control laboratories for HPLC and LC-MS methods.
• Veterinary Medicine: Potential application in the formulation of antibacterial treatments for animal healthcare.

Quality Control

Our Pseudomonic Acid C is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets stringent specifications for pharmaceutical intermediates. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with every shipment, detailing all test results against release criteria.

Storage

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