Kanamycin Sulfate USP K008-25G

产品介绍

Kanamycin Sulfate, USP is a semi-synthetic, broad-spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic.  Kanamycin was isolated from the soil bacterium Streptomyces kanamyceticus in 1957 by Hamao Umezawa at the institute of Microbial Chemistry (Tokyo) during an antitumor screening program using the transplanted Yoshida sarcoma in mice.  Kanamycin inhibits protein synthesis in bacteria and Mycoplasma. It is used to select for transformants (bacteria, fungi, plant, mammalian) which have been successfully transformed with a plasmid containing a kanamycin-resistance gene. 

Standard-grade Kanamycin is composed of 3 fractions: Kanamycin A, B, and C, with Kanamycin A being the major component.

Kanamycin Sulfate is soluble in water but is practically insoluble in ethanol, DMSO, acetone, chloroform, ether and ethyl acetate.
