Tigecycline, 10 g

Tigecycline is noted for its consistent composition and reliable behavior, as indicated by its molecular formula C29H39N5O8 and molecular weight of 585.6. This compound belongs to the glycylcyclines, a subclass of tetracyclines, known for their unique structure that includes a hydroxyl group at the 9 position of the tetracycline ring system. As a result of this structural modification, tigecycline demonstrates broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It should be handled with care due to potential skin and eye irritation. Additionally, it may exhibit antiviral properties, although further research is required to confirm this application.
