Product Information

• Name: 9-Epimitomycin B
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 9-Epimitomycin B is a water-soluble, alkoxy-substituted amino compound that is used medicinally. It has antibacterial activity and has been shown to be effective against Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Enterococcus faecalis. 9-Epimitomycin B inhibits the growth of these bacteria by binding to their ribosomes and inhibiting protein synthesis. The carbon atoms in 9-epimitomycin B are linked to an alkoxy group at one end, which causes it to have a higher affinity for bacterial ribosomes than human ribosomes. 9-Epimitomycin B also binds to mitomycin C, which may be responsible for its antimetabolite properties.
