Antibiotics

Rapamycin is a macrolide antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces hygroscopicus. It has been shown to display anticancer activity such as induction of apoptosis and inhibition of angiogenesis and proliferation in tumor cell lines. Rapamycin is also an immunosuppressant and FRAP inhibitor and inhibits lymphokine-induced cell proliferation.

Ribostamycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces ribosifidicus. It is a broad-spectrum antibiotic targeting gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Ribostamycin has been used to in pharmacokinetic studies and to study kidney toxicity. It is also an inhibitor of protein disulfide isomerase (PDI).

Rifampicin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic known for its efficacy against tuberculosis and other infections caused by Mycobacterium species. This semisynthetic antibiotic has also been shown to work against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), to activate nuclear pregnane x receptor (PXR), and to promote CYP2C-mediated metabolism.

Rifampicin functions by binding the β-subunit of RNA polymerase, inhibiting RNA synthesis. Resistance to this antibiotic develops from mutations on the binding site on RNA polymerase leading to a lower affinity for rifampicin.

Roxithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic and derivative of erythromycin. It targets both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria and has shown strong efficacy against Legionella pneumophila and a variety of oral pathogens. Additionally, roxithromycin inhibits the activation of NADPH oxidase and promotes neutrophil apoptosis.

Salinomycin is a coccidiostat ionophore antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces albus. It increases cation movement across cell membranes through exchange-diffusion, resulting in altered gradients due to a lack of control of ion permeability. This effect allows ions (K+, Na+, Ca+, Mg2+) to accumulate inside the cell, reaching toxic levels.

It increases cation movement across cell membranes through exchange-diffusion, resulting in altered gradients due to a lack of control of ion permeability. This effect allows ions (K+, Na+, Ca+, Mg2+) to accumulate inside the cell, reaching toxic levels. Salinomycin sodium is freely soluble in aqueous solution.

Sarafloxacin is a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic effective against a variety of gram-negative and gram-positive organisms, especially Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Sarafloxacin HCl Trihydrate is water soluble.

Sisomicin is a broad-spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic isolated from Micromonospora inyoensis. It is related to gentamicin and targets gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria such as Klebsiella species, E. coli, P. aeruginosa, Enterobacter species, and Proteus species. It has been used in disk and tube dilution sensitivity assays.

Sparfloxacin is a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic targeting gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria as well as Mycoplasma species. It is especially effective against bacteria responsible for respiratory tract infections such as pneumonia. Sparfloxacin also displays photosensitizing effects.

Spectinomycin is an aminocyclitol antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces spectabilis. It is effective against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, but most commonly used against Gonococcus species. It has also been used to monitor cell fate during leaf development and as a selection marker in plants to display successful transformation of the Spcr gene.

Spectinomycin functions by binding the 30s ribosomal subunit, inhibiting tRNA translation and protein synthesis. Resistance to this antibiotic is conferred through the aadA gene and mutated rpsE gene.

GoldBio’s antibiotic solutions are provided ready to use.

Spiramycin is a broad-spectrum macrolide antibiotic effective against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria as well as some Toxoplasma parasites. Spiramycin is a mixture of spiramycin I, II, and III and has been used to study sepsis in mice.

Streptomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic primarily effective against gram-negative bacteria and Mycobacterium species. It is commonly used in cell culture media to prevent bacterial contamination. It has also been used to precipitate nucleic acids during protein purification techniques and to study mechanisms of Streptomycin resistance.

Sulbactam is a β-lactamase inhibitor useful in combination with β-lactam antibiotics to increase their potency. It irreversibly inactivates β-lactamase enzymes, preventing them from degrading β-lactam antibiotics. Sulbactam has been used in combination with ampicillin and cefoperazone to inhibit β-lactamase enzymes during Agrobacterium-mediated plant genetic modifications. It may also be used in cell signaling studies.

Sulfadoxine is a broad-spectrum sulfonamide antibiotic effective against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. It is commonly used against malaria, especially Plasmodium falciparum malaria with chloroquine resistance. It has been used to study Toxoplasma gondii infections and to prevent infections in post-surgical animal models.

Sulfamethazine is broad-spectrum sulfonamide antibiotic targeting bacteria causing bronchitis and urinary tract infections. It is used in disposition and depletion studies of kinetics and to develop procedures used for quantification. Sulfamethazine is also an inducer of CYP3A4.
