Product Overview

Clindamycin Hydrochloride is a high-purity lincosamide antibiotic supplied as a laboratory-grade powder for microbiological and pharmaceutical research applications.

This compound inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit, resulting in bacteriostatic activity under controlled laboratory conditions.

It demonstrates strong activity against Gram-positive bacteria and anaerobic organisms, making it suitable for selective culture media development, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and resistance mechanism research.

Technical Specifications

• Chemical Name: Clindamycin Hydrochloride

• CAS Number: 21462-39-5

• Chemical Class: Lincosamide antibiotic

• Appearance: Off-white to white crystalline powder

• Solubility: Soluble in water (laboratory conditions)

• HS Code: 2941.90.00 (Antibiotics and related compounds)

Applications

• Microbiological research and method validation

• Selective inhibition of Gram-positive and anaerobic bacteria
