Product Information

• Name: Gentamicin C2 pentaacetate (2 : 1 Mixture of C2 and C2a)
• Synonyms: O-3-Deoxy-4-C-methyl-3-(methylamino)-b-L-arabinopyranosyl-(16)-O-[2,6-diamino-2,3,4,6,7-pentadeoxy-a-D-ribo-heptopyranosyl-(14)]-2-d eoxy-D-streptamine Pentaacetate Salt
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Gentamicin C2 pentaacetate (2 : 1 Mixture of C2 and C2a) is an aminoglycoside class antibiotic derivative, primarily derived from the fermentation of Micromonospora species. This product is a semi-synthetic compound, combining two closely related gentamicin components, C2 and C2a, in a specified ratio. Its mode of action involves binding to the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, which disrupts protein synthesis resulting in bactericidal activity against a wide spectrum of Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacteria.
