    4-Epitetracycline Ammonium Salt, EvoPure®

    ¥2,740.50 - ¥9,019.00

    4-Epitetracycline ammonium salt, EvoPure® is a highly purified version of 4-Epitetracycline, an epimer of Tetracycline. Tetracycline is a broad-spectrum antibacterial and selection agent.

    We also offer:
    4-Epitetracycline Hydrochloride, EvoPure® (T053)

    Mechanism of Action Under acid conditions, Tetracycycline undergoes a reversible epimerization at the fourth carbon, producing a mixture of tetracycline and 4-Epitetracycline. Tetracycline inhibits the growth of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria by disrupting codon-anticodon interactions at the ribosome, thus blocking protein synthesis. Specifically, Tetracycline binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit and blocks the attachment of charged aminoacyl-tRNA to the A site on the ribosome, preventing peptide elongation.
    Spectrum Effective against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and Mycoplasma.
    Microbiology Applications 4-epitetracycline ammonium salt, EvoPure® can be use as an analytical standard.
    Molecular Formula C22H27N3O8
