QUICK LINKS

Spectinomycin dihydrochloride pentahydrate is an aminocylcitol antibiotic which is closely related to the aminoglycosides. Gram-positive and gram-negative Gonococcus spp. are reported to exhibit susceptibility to Spectinomycin dihydrochloride pentahydrate. Studies indicate that it interferes with peptidyl tRNA translocation thereby affecting protein synthesis in susceptible bacteria. Additional reports note that mutations in ribosomal proteins may prevent the binding of Spectinomycin dihydrochloride pentahydrate, thus potentially confering resistence to the compound. Additionally, Eschericia coli is reported to be reversibly inhibitied during growth and division by Spectinomycin dihydrochloride pentahydrate and that variations in bacterial sensitivity may be mediated by differences in ribosomes among different E. coli mutants.

Do you have information of the degradation temperature? Also, do you know what is the shelf life if we store the powder at 4C? -20C? Thanks!

Asked by: qinqinyu
Thank you for your question. This chemical is very stable. We do not have information of the degradation temperature. The shelf life at 4C should be at least 2 years and 3 years at 20C.
