Maduramicin Ammonium CVP2010 84878-61-5

CAS Number:84878-61-5 Molecular Formula:C47H79O17.NH4 Molecular Weight:934.17 Chemical Properties: White Solid Usage: Maduramcin ammonium is prepared from maduramicin by taking advantage of the acidic carboxylic acid which ionises and readily forms the salt in ammonium hydroxide solutions. The ammonium salt is the preferred formulation in animals to prevent coccidiosis and to promote growth. Maduramicin is also active against Treponema and Cryptosporidium. Maduramicin is an ionophore, forming complexes with monovalent cations, with a higher affinity for K+ than Na+.
