l  Biological Information

Biochem/Physiol   Actions

Spectinomycin Hydrochloride Anhydrous is the anhydrous hydrochloride salt form of spectinomycin, an aminocyclitol aminoglycoside antibiotic derived from Streptomyces spectabilis with bacteriostatic activity. Spectinomycin binds to the bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit. As a result, this agent interferes with the initiation of protein synthesis and with proper protein elongation. This eventually leads to bacterial cell death.

Application

Anti-Bacterial Agents

Substances that inhibit the growth or reproduction of BACTERIA.
