Apollo Sci. Amikacin disulphate

Amikacin disulphate is a semi-synthetic aminoglycoside antibiotic derived from kanamycin A. It is typically used in microbiological research, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and as a selection agent in cell culture where bacterial contamination is a concern.

This compound is highly water-soluble and active against a broad spectrum of Gram-negative bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. It works by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, thereby inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis.

Applications

• Microbiology Research: Antibacterial agent for Gram-negative organisms.
• Antibiotic Selection: Used in bacterial and mammalian cell culture media.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Reference compound for analytical and preclinical studies.
