Product Information

• Name: Norvancomycin
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Norvancomycin is an antimicrobial agent that is used as a treatment for infectious diseases. It prevents bacterial growth by binding to the D-alanyl-D-alanine moiety of the peptidoglycan cell wall, which inhibits cell wall synthesis. Norvancomycin has been shown to be effective against Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis and Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Norvancomycin also has the ability to inhibit transcriptional regulation, leading to decreased production of proteins essential for bacterial growth. Norvancomycin has been shown to have a long half-life in humans, making it useful for pharmacokinetic studies in human serum.
