The methyl-sulfonyl analogue of chloramphenicol | CAS: 15318-45-3 | C12H15Cl2NO5S | 356.214 g/mol

Thiamphenicol is used to treat chancroid in men and uncomplicated gonorrhea. It is used in studies of bacterial protein synthesis at the level of peptidyl transferase activity associated with the 23S rRNA of the 50S ribosomal subunit. It is used to study chloraniphenicol-thiamphenicol-resistance and the use of fluorinated analogs when resistance is encountered. Its main advantage over chloramphenicol is that it has never been associated with aplastic anaemia.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
