IMPURITIES AVAILABLE FOR 'Cycloheximide'

Omsynth Lifesciences Pvt. Ltd. is one of the leading manufacturer and exporter of Cycloheximide. Cycloheximide is a naturally derived antibiotic and protein synthesis inhibitor obtained from Streptomyces griseus. It works by interfering with the translocation step in eukaryotic ribosomes, thereby blocking protein synthesis. Due to its high toxicity in mammalian cells, it is not used clinically but is widely employed as a research tool in molecular biology and biochemistry. Cycloheximide is commonly used to study mRNA stability, gene expression regulation, and protein turnover in cell cultures. It is also utilized in microbiology to suppress fungal contamination in selective media, as it inhibits many eukaryotic fungi but not bacteria. Exposure to cycloheximide can cause severe toxicity, including liver, kidney, and gastrointestinal damage. Because of its hazardous nature, it is handled only in laboratory settings under strict safety guidelines. Its role remains important in experimental studies of protein metabolism.
