Pharmaceutical secondary standards for application in quality control, provide pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to the preparation of in-house working standards.Natamycin is a major drug that is utilized in the treatment of fungal keratitis. It is, by far, the only available approved antifungal drug for the said purpose by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Synonyms: Pimaricin; Natamycin
Molecular Formula: C33H47NO13
Molecular Weight: 665.73
Linear Structural Formula: C33H47NO13
MDL Number: MFCD00135085
Application: These Secondary Standards are qualified as Certified Reference Materials. These are suitable for use in several analytical applications including but not limited to pharma release testing, pharma method development for qualitative and quantitative analyses, food and beverage quality control testing, and other calibration requirements.
Biochem Physiol Actions: An antifungal polyene macrolide that binds specifically to ergosterol and blocks fungal growth. However, unlike nysatin and filipin, pimaricin does not change the permeability of the plasma membrane
Other Notes: This Certified Reference Material (CRM) is produced and certified in accordance with ISO 17034 and ISO/IEC 17025. All information regarding the use of this CRM can be found on the certificate of analysis.
