11006-76-1 Usage
Uses
Different sources of media describe the Uses of 11006-76-1 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. Virginiamycin is a mixture of Virginiamycin S1 and Virginiamycin M1 (V673810). It is an antibiotic used in livestock feed to prevent disease among young swine. Also is used in ethanol production to prevent microbial contamination.
2. Virginiamycin complex is defined as a mixture of 75% ostreogrycin A (virginiamycin M1) and 25% virginiamycin S1, together with the less abundant S analogues. As the two major components have quite different solubilities, these proportions are not readily achieved or used. BioAustralis has isolated and re-combined the individual components to provide the defined components of virginiamycin complex. The composition of the complex is important as Virginiamycin S1 acts a synergist, binding to the conformational change of the peptidyl transferase centre of the 50S ribosome induced by ostreogrycin A.
3. Occupational dermatitis was observed in the pharmaceutical
industry and in a surgeon who used topical
virginiamycin on postoperative wounds (CJ Le Coz,
unpublished observations).
4. Pristinamycin is a mixture of two components that have a synergistic antibacterial action. The two components are Pristinamycin IIA (V673810) and Pristinamycin IA (P745000).
Brand name
Stafac (SmithKline Beecham Animal Health).
Pharmaceutical Applications
Different sources of media describe the Pharmaceutical Applications of 11006-76-1 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. A natural product of Streptomyces virginiae with antimicrobial activity similar to that of other streptogramins. It has chiefly been used as an animal feed additive, but is available in some countries for oral administration and in topical preparations.
2. The two major components are pristinamycin IA and pristinamycin IB. It is available in some countries for the oral treatment of upper respiratory, bronchopulmonary, dental, skin, genital and bone infections caused by susceptible organisms. In-vitro activity is summarized in Table 28.1. The drug is usually well tolerated, although minor gastrointestinal disturbances and rash may occur.
Biological Activity
virginiamycin complex is a a complex containing two streptogramin antibiotics.virginiamycin complex contains two streptogramin antibiotics, virginiamycin m1 (75%) and virginiamycin s1 (25%), produced by s. virginiae.
Contact allergens
Like the other streptogramin, pristinamycin, virginiamycin
is made of two subunits, virginiamycin S1 and
virginiamycin M1. Dermatitis was quite common in
people using the formerly available topical virginiamycin.
Occupational dermatitis was observed in the
pharmaceutical industry, in breeders, and in a surgeon
who used topical virginiamycin on postoperative
wounds (personal observation).
Safety Profile
Moderately toxic by
ingestion, intraperitoneal, and subcutaneous
routes. Used as an antibiotic.
in vitro
previous study found that the m1 and s1 components of virginiamycin (vm and vs) could inhibit protein synthesis in bacteria--reversibly when a single component was present and irreversibly when both were present. in cell-free systems, each factor bound to the large ribosomal subunit, and the affinity of ribosomes for vs was enhanced in the presence of vm. in addition, the binding of labeled vm to ribosomes yielded particles unable to perform poly(u)-directed polyphenylalanine synthesis. moreover, the association constant for the binding of vs to these particles was equal to that incubated with a mixture of vm and vs [1].
in vivo
a radiochemical method was developed to estimate cholyltaurine hydrolase potentials and rates of cholyltaurine hydrolysis in chicken intestinal homogenates. this method was used to monitor the effects of antibiotic feed additives on cholyltaurine hydrolase activity. results showed that virginiamycin could improve the rate of weight gain and feed conversion and decrease cholyltaurine hydrolase activity in ileal homogenates relative [2].

Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 11006-76-1 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 1,1,0,0 and 6 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 7 and 6 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 11006-76:
(7*1)+(6*1)+(5*0)+(4*0)+(3*6)+(2*7)+(1*6)=51
51 % 10 = 1
So 11006-76-1 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
