Raw Materials | Benzene Thionyl chloride chloroamphenicol Palmitic acid |
biological activity | Chloramphenicol palmitate is a broad-spectrum antibiotic (antibiotic) with oral activity, which has a wide range of activities against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Chloramphenicol palmitate inhibit the protein synthesis of bacteria by blocking the synthesis of peptidyl transferase. Chloramphenicol palmitate can be used as a bacterial screening agent for transformed cells containing chloramphenicol resistance genes (bacterial selection agent). |
use | antibiotics. |
production method | add α-methylpyridine and benzene to the reaction pot, add chloramphenicol under stirring, keep at 32-37 ℃, and add palmitoyl chloride dropwise. After adding, continue stirring for 4 hours, add to 15 times of water, and precipitate crude products. The crude product is washed, decolorized and recrystallized to obtain tasteless chloramphenicol. |
