Gentamicin C1a Sulfate, EvoPure® is ≥95.0% pure Gentamicin C1a. Gentamicin C1a is part of the Gentamicin C complex, along with Gentamicin C1 and Gentamicin C2, and together this complex makes up 80% of Gentamicin and has the highest antibacterial activity. Gentamicin C1a differs from Gentamicin C1 by a methyl group in the 6’ position of the purpurosamine (2-amino-hexose) ring. The antimicrobial activity of the Gentamicin complex is thought to arise from the lack of hydroxy groups on the 3’ and 4’ positions of the purpurosamine (2-amino-hexose) fragments.
