Product Information

• Name: N4-Methyl-2'-O-methyl-cytidine
• Synonyms: N4,O2’-Dimethylcytidine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: N4-Methyl-2'-O-methyl-cytidine is a nucleoside analog that is used as an antibiotic. The ribosomal RNA in prokaryotes has been found to be sensitive to this drug, which inhibits protein synthesis by reversibly binding to the 50S subunit of the ribosome and inhibiting translocation. N4-Methyl-2'-O-methyl-cytidine also binds to the ribonucleoprotein in eukaryotic cells, blocking translation of mRNA into proteins. N4-Methyl-2'-O-methyl-cytidine is effective against Gram positive bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus and Clostridium perfringens, while being inactive against Gram negative bacteria. This drug has a molecular weight of 197 and can be broken down into low molecular weight fragments or high molecular weight fragments.
