General description

Spectinomycin is an aminoglycoside-like antibiotic produced by Streptomyces spectabilis. It is widely used as a veterinary medication to treat gastrointestinal and respiratory infections caused by a variety of spectinomycin-sensitive micro-organisms.

Application

Spectinomycin Sulfate may be used as a pharmaceutical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in spectinomycin formulations using high-performance liquid chromatography technique.
Spectinomycin is an aminocyclitol antibiotic derived from Streptomyces spectabilis. It has been shown to have a wide variety of uses, including treating acute gonorrheal urethritis and cervictis, to mark cell layers to monitor cell fate during leaf development, as a selection marker in plant related transformation systems for plant cells containing the marker gene Spcr, to study respiratory tract infections of cattle caused by Pasteurella multocida and Mannheimia haemolytica, and to generate plants deficient for the plastid-encoded RNA polymerase on MS-agar media. Spectinomycin also has use in amplification of low copy number plasmid carrying replicons. It is recommended for use in cell culture applications at 7.5-20 mg/L.
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.

Caution

Solutions can be stored at 2-8°C for several weeks or at -20°C for more extended periods.

Preparation Note

Stock solutions should be prepared at 10 mg/mL in water and filter sterilized.
