Description

Teicoplanin A2-1 is a principal glycopeptide antibiotic component derived from the fermentation of *Actinoplanes teichomyceticus*. This compound is critical for its potent bactericidal activity against a spectrum of Gram-positive pathogens, including methicillin-resistant *Staphylococcus aureus* (MRSA). It is an essential reference standard and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) for pharmaceutical R&D, quality control laboratories, and the production of advanced anti-infective therapeutics.

Application

• Pharmaceutical reference standard for analytical method development and validation.
• Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) in the formulation of injectable antibiotic drugs.
• Microbiological research for studying glycopeptide antibiotic mechanisms and resistance.
• Quality control testing in pharmaceutical manufacturing to ensure batch potency and purity.
• Use in clinical diagnostics for susceptibility testing of bacterial isolates.
• Biochemical research involving cell wall synthesis inhibition studies.
