Cycloheximide is a glutarimide antibiotic and natural fungicide isolated from Streptomyces griseus and a protein synthesis inhibitor in eukaryotic cells. It was discovered by Alma Whiffen-Barksdale of Upjohn Company in 1946. Cycloheximide is routinely...
Sulfadiazine is a sulfonamide antibiotic that was developed in 1940 by Richard Roblin at the Stamford Research Laboratories of the American Cyanamid Company to be a more potent and less toxic alternative to Sulfapyridine. Sulfadiazine is a bacteriostatic...
Vancomycin Hydrochloride, USP is a glycopeptide antibiotic derived from Streptomyces orientalis that was discovered in 1953 from a soil sample found in Borneo. It is effective against gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, including...
Novobiocin sodium is an aminocoumarin antibiotic that prevents cell division. Novobiocin sodium is freely soluble in aqueous solution.Mechanism of ActionAminocoumarin antibiotics target DNA gyrase, an enzyme which relieves strain as DNA unwinds during...
Tetracycline, USP is a light-sensitive bacteriostatic polyketide antibiotic frequently used in a wide range of in-vitro cell culture applications. Tetracycline is a first-generation Tetracycline antibiotic and was first identified in 1953 by Chemist...
Nystatin is a fungicidal and fungistatic polyene antifungal and growth promoter. It functions by accumulating cholesterol and thereby sequesters lipid from cell membranes. It can be used in quantum dot research, since cholesterol depletion...
Oxolinic acid is a synthetic quinolone antibiotic. It is insoluble in water and soluble in dilute alkali solutions. Mechanism of Action Fluoroquinolone antibiotics target bacterial DNA gyrase, an enzyme which reduces DNA strain during replication...
Trimethoprim Lactate is a synthetic derivative of trimethoxybenzyl-pyrimidine with bacteriostatic and antiprotozoal properties. As a pyrimidine inhibitor of bacterial dihydrofolate reductase, Trimethoprim binds tightly to the bacterial enzyme, blocking...
