?Florfenicol (CAS NO.73231-34-2) is a fluorinated synthetic analog of thiamphenicol.? In the United States, florfenicol is currently indicated for the treatment of bovine respiratory disease . Florfenicol is a bacteriostatic antibiotic that inhibits protein synthesis by binding to ribosomal subunits of susceptible bacteria, leading to the inhibition of peptidyl transferase and thereby preventing the transfer of amino acids to growing peptide chains and subsequent protein formation. |
| Usage: | Fluorinated derivative of thiamphenicol. Inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to ribosome 50S and 70S subunits. An antibacterial |
