Gentamicin Deuterated (C Complex) Pentaacetate Salt (contains d0)

Inhibits protein synthesis by binding to L6 protein of 50S ribosomal subunit. Antibacterial.|Antibiotic complex consists of three closely related components, gentamicins C1, C2, C1a, and also gentamicin A which differs from the other members of the complex but is similar to Kanamycin C.||Nomenclature:|Gentamicin C1: R1=R2=CH3|Gentamicin C2: R1=CH3; R2=H|Gentamicin C1A: R1=R2=H||Synonyms:|Alcomicin; Bristagen; Cidomycin; Duragentam; Garamycin; Garasol; Genoptic; Gentacidin; Gentacin; Gentaglyde; Gentalyn; Gentamicin C Complex Citrate; Gentibioptal; Genticin; Gentocin; Gentogram; Gent-Ophtal; Getalline; GM||CAS No:|1405-41-0||Molecular Formula:|N/A||Molecular Weight:|N/A||Appearance:|Off-white to pale yellow solid||Method for Determining Identity:|Proton NMR (D2O) and Mass Spectrometric Analysis||Melting Point:|95-99°C||Solubility:|DMSO (Slightly), Water (Slightly)||Storage and Stability:|Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C.
