Description

Cannitracin CAS NO 84930-92-7 is a potent antifungal agent belonging to the polyene macrolide class, structurally related to nystatin. This compound is valued for its targeted activity against a broad spectrum of pathogenic fungi, particularly *Candida* species, making it a critical component in pharmaceutical research and development. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and advanced life science sectors for the formulation of antifungal medications and as a reference standard in microbiological assays.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Active Ingredient (API): Core component in the formulation of topical and oral antifungal medications.
• Microbiological Research: Used as a reference standard in antifungal susceptibility testing and studies of fungal cell membrane integrity.
• Veterinary Medicine: Incorporated into treatments for fungal infections in animals.
• Biochemical Studies: Employed in research to investigate the mechanism of action of polyene antibiotics and ergosterol binding.
• Cosmetic Preservation (R&D): Explored in research for its potential as a preservative in cosmetic products susceptible to fungal contamination.
