Teicoplanin complex is family of closely related metabolites produced by Actinoplanes teichomyceticus which possesses potent broad spectrum antibiotic activity against Gram-positive bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis. The metabolites share a common glycopeptide core (teicoplanin A3) on which a family of fatty acids varying in length, degree of saturation and branching are linked as amides through one of the aminoglycoside moieties. The major component of the complex is teicoplanin A2 which comprises five major components (teicoplanin A2-1 to A2-5), teicoplanin A3 and four minor components (named teicoplanin RS-1 to RS-4). Synonyms: Teichomycin, Tecoplanin, Targocid, Teicomid, Antibiotic 8327A, DL 507IT, L12507, MDL 507, MW 1900 CAS No: 61036-62-2 Molecular Formula: C88H97Cl2N9O33 Molecular Weight: 1829.69 Appearance: White to light yellow powder Activity: 900ug/mg Water: 15% Solubility: Soluble in H2O.
