Gentamycin sulfate - 50 mg/mL

Gentamycin sulfate (Gentamicin) is an aminoglycoside antibiotic and a metabolic product of Micromonospora purpurea. It is a mixture of 3 closely related components: C₁ (approx. 20-40 %), C₂ (approx. 40-60 %), and C_1a (approx. 10-30 %) (Cox d. et al. (1977) Sammes, P.G (ed.) Topics in antibiotics chemistry Vol. I, Chichester, Horwood, pp. 1-190, Lancini G., Parenti F. (1982) Antibiotics: Springer, New York). The chemical formula and mol weights are: C19-21H39-43N5O7x2,5 H2SO4 with mol weights of 694.75 up to 723.75 g/mol.

Gentamycin (Gentamycin) sulfate is active against Gram-positive (incl. Pseudomonas) and Gram-negative bacteria and Mycoplasma. It is stable to higher pH and temperature fluctuations. The water-soluble broad-spectrum antibiotic Gentamycin sulfate (Gentamycin) is used in the selection for gentamicin resistance genes in cell culture and in molecular biological applications.

Mechanism: Inhibits protein biosynthesis by binding to the 30 S ribosomal subunit and by destroying the cell membrane.
