CAS Number

1404-93-9

Molecular Formula

C₆₆H₇₅Cl₂N₉O₂₄ · HCl

Molecular Weight

1485.71

Mechanism of Action

Vancomycin prevents peptidoglycan synthesis by two separate mechanisms. One mechanism prevents N-acetylmuramic acid (NAM) and N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) from linking together forming the peptidoglycan backbone. The second mechanism prevents crosslinking between amino acid residues in the peptidoglycan chain.

Storage Conditions

2-8°C, protect from light

Tariff Code

2941.90.5000

Spectrum

Vancomycin inhibits growth of many Gram positive bacteria including the antibiotic resistant superbug, MRSA (Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus). Vancomcyin is effective for treating MRSA infections because it inhibits cell wall synthesis through a different mechanism than β-lactam antibiotics.
