    4-Epitetracycline HCl, EvoPure®

    Mex$4,935.00

    4-Epitetracycline HCl, EvoPure® is a highly purified hydrochloride salt form of 4-Epitetracycline.  Under acidic conditions, Tetracycline undergoes an epimerization at the fourth carbon, producing a mixture of Tetracycline and 4-Epitetracycline.  This EvoPure product is soluble in water.

    Application4-Epitetracycline HCl, EvoPure® can be used as an analytical standard.
    Mechanism of ActionTetracycline inhibits the growth of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria by disrupting codon-anticodon interactions at the ribosome, thus blocking protein synthesis. Specifically, Tetracycline binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit and blocks the attachment of charged aminoacyl-tRNA to the A site on the ribosome, preventing peptide elongation.
    SpectrumEffective against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and Mycoplasma.
    Molecular FormulaC22H24N2O8 · xHCl (lot specific)
    Molecular Weight444.43 g/mol (Free base. Actual molecular weight shown on lot specific certificate of analysis).
