CAS 478-60-4

Citromycetin

Description:

Citromycetin, with the CAS number 478-60-4, is an antibiotic compound belonging to the class of aminoglycosides. It is primarily derived from the fermentation of certain strains of bacteria, particularly those in the genus Micromonospora. Citromycetin exhibits antibacterial properties, making it effective against a range of Gram-positive and some Gram-negative bacteria. Its mechanism of action involves inhibiting protein synthesis by binding to the bacterial ribosome, which disrupts the translation process. This compound is often studied for its potential therapeutic applications, particularly in treating infections caused by resistant bacterial strains. In terms of physical properties, Citromycetin is typically a white to off-white powder, soluble in water, and may have specific stability and storage requirements to maintain its efficacy. As with many antibiotics, the use of Citromycetin should be guided by susceptibility testing to ensure its effectiveness against targeted pathogens and to mitigate the risk of developing antibiotic resistance.

Citromycetin

CAS: 478-60-4

Citromycetin is an antibiotic, which is derived from the genus Streptomyces or related actinomycetous bacteria. This compound acts as a protein synthesis inhibitor by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit of bacterial ribosomes, thereby preventing peptide bond formation and subsequently hindering bacterial growth.
