Corynecin IV
Application Notes
Corynecin IV is a member of a naturally-occurring complex of chloramphenicol-like acyl nitrophenylpropylamines isolated from Corynebacterium hydrocarboclastus in 1972. Corynecin IV is active against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. Although less potent than chloramphenicol, corynecin IV shows a similar species selectivity.
