Gentamicin C2 Sulfate, EvoPure® is ≥95.0% pure Gentamicin C2 and can be used to study the Gentamicin biosynthetic pathway. Gentamicin C2 is part of the Gentamicin C complex, along with Gentamicin C1 and Gentamicin C1a, and together this complex makes up 80% of the compound and has the highest antibacterial activity. Gentamicin C2 and C2a are stereoisomers. The higher antimicrobial activity of the complex is thought to arise from the lack of hydroxy groups on the 3’ and 4’ positions of the purpurosamine (2-amino-hexose) fragments.
EvoPure® products have been fully characterized by spectral analysis and are shipped with a comprehensive certificate of analysis containing lot-specific HPLC, MS, HNMR, and FTIR data.
