Neomycin Sulfate

Chemical Name: 2-Deoxy-4-O-(2,6-diamino-2,6-dideoxy-α-D-glucopyranosyl)-D-streptamine sulfate

CAS Number: 1405-10-3

Neomycin sulfate is a broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the aminoglycoside group. It exhibits strong antimicrobial activity against gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, as well as gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes. It is mainly used for the treatment of gastrointestinal infections caused by sensitive gram-negative bacteria.

Neomycin sulfate works by binding to the bacterial ribosome and inhibiting protein synthesis, leading to bacterial death. It is effective against a wide range of bacteria due to its ability to penetrate the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria.

Neomycin sulfate is in compliance with the standards set forth by the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, EP, USP, and other relevant regulatory agencies.

Store in a dry place, protected from light and sealed tightly.

Neomycin Sulfate Introduction

Chemically, Neomycin Sulfate is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that is derived from Streptomyces fradiae. It has the molecular formula C23H48N6O17S and a molecular weight of 712.72 g/mol. Neomycin Sulfate is a white to slightly yellowish, odorless, hygroscopic powder that is soluble in water and slightly soluble in alcohol.

Neomycin Sulfate is primarily used to treat gastrointestinal tract infections such as gastroenteritis, enterocolitis, and traveler's diarrhea. It is also used in combination with other antibiotics to treat infections caused by gram-negative bacteria, such as urinary tract infections and sepsis.
