    $89.00 - $311.00
    Erythromycin A N-oxide is a minor analog of the Erythromycin complex.  The N-oxide is a facile metabolite formed in vivo which can revert to Erythromycin A under reducing conditions. Despite its synthetic preparation in the 1950s, the biological activity of eEythromycin A N-oxide has not been extensively studied.

    Erythromycin A N-oxide is soluble in water, ethanol, methanol, DMF and DMSO.
