Biological Activity
Pactamycin is an antibiotic produced by Streptomyces pactum used as an antineoplastic agent. It is also utilized as a tool in biochemistry because it suppresses certain steps in protein synthesis.
Safety & Regulatory
For Research Use Only (RUO). Not for therapeutic, diagnostic, or clinical use. Wear appropriate PPE and consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) prior to handling.
It is recommended to sonicate at a lower frequency
Try the following steps: (1) warm the DMSO solvent to 37–50 °C before adding the compound; (2) vortex vigorously for 30 seconds then bath-sonicate for 1–2 minutes; (3) if still undissolved, prepare a more dilute stock. Note that maximum solubility values are reference conditions — actual solubility can vary with temperature, solvent lot, and compound batch. Contact BioHippo support if dissolution problems persist.
Need this compound in a format that drops straight into your assay? We can tailor formulation, chemistry, and documentation so your results stay consistent across runs and re-orders.
- Format options: solid or pre-dissolved solution (choose solvent), target concentration, aliquots, light/moisture-protected packaging
- Chemistry options: free base/acid vs salt forms, hydrate/solvate preference, stereoisomer control (single enantiomer or racemate), close analogs
- Add-on labels & handles: D/¹³C/¹⁵N isotopes (LC-MS/internal standards), azide/alkyne or other functional handles for conjugation
- QC & documentation: standard COA or enhanced analytical pack (HPLC/LC-MS/NMR), chiral purity, residual solvents, water content (KF), method-specific specs
- Scale & continuity: mg to gram scale, bulk pricing, lot reservation, repeat-order continuity
To quote quickly, tell us: compound name + CAS/structure (SMILES or mol file), intended assay context, solvent preference, salt/stereochemistry requirements, purity/QC level, and the amount (mg–g).
