Pristinamycin is a mixture of two closely related antibiotics, pristinamycin IA and pristinamycin IIA, derived from the bacterium Streptomyces pristinaespiralis. It is primarily used to treat skin infections, such as impetigo and erysipelas, caused by susceptible bacteria. The antibiotic works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, thereby preventing the growth and reproduction of the bacteria. Pristinamycin is administered topically, usually in the form of a cream or ointment, and is considered a first-line treatment for certain skin infections due to its effectiveness and low risk of side effects.
The CAS Registry Mumber 8065-94-9 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 8,0,6 and 5 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 9 and 4 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 8065-94: (6*8)+(5*0)+(4*6)+(3*5)+(2*9)+(1*4)=109 109 % 10 = 9 So 8065-94-9 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
