Product Information

• Name: Formycin A
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Formycin A is a nucleoside analog, which is an antibiotic product derived from certain Streptomyces species. Its mode of action involves mimicking adenosine, one of the four nucleosides in RNA. By doing so, it interferes with the RNA processing of certain microorganisms, ultimately disrupting their ability to synthesize proteins effectively. This interference results in the inhibition of bacterial and parasitic growth.
