Application

Chloramphenicol-Water Soluble has been used:

  • as a supplement in Luria-Bertani (LB) medium to culture Escherichia coli[1]
  • as a supplement in LB agar to culture Citrobacter rodentium[2]
  • to culture Toxoplasma gondii[3]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Chloramphenicol is a natural product found in Streptomyces venezuelae.[4] It shows a broad range of antibiotic activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria by binding to the peptidyl transferase loop of the ribosomal RNA to block the peptide bond formation.[5][6]

Packaging

Package size based on chloramphenicol

Other Notes

Formulated to contain approx. 100 mg chloramphenicol per gram of powder; balance 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin.
Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Light sensitive. Keep in a dry place.

  2. How do I calculate the molarity of product C3175, Chloramphenicol-Water Soluble?

    1 answer
    1. Product C3175 (Chloramphenicol-Water Soluble) is a complex of chloramphenicol and cyclodextrin. Cyclodextrin is used to aid in the solubility of chloramphenicol into water. In order to prepare a molar solution of chloramphenicol you will have to base it on the chloramphenicol content in the solution and not the entire complex.  Product C3175 is formulated to contain approximately 100 mg chloramphenicol per gram of powder.  Based on this average, if you are preparing a 500 mg/ml stock solution, there will be approximately 50 mg of chloramphenicol in 1 ml.  Below is the calculated molarity of chloramphenicol when the complex is dissolved at 500 mg/ml in water. molecular weight X unknown molarity X volume = complex weight X complex ratio323.13 g/mol X Molarity X 1 ml = 500 mg X 0.1           Molarity = 0.155 Mchloramphenicol molecular weight = 323.13 g/molmolarity (unknown) = mol/Lvolume = 1mlcomplex weight = 500 mgcomplex ratio = 100 mg chloramphenicol/1 gm complex
