CAS 66-81-9 — Cycloheximide
Cycloheximide is an antibiotic and protein synthesis inhibitor that acts on eukaryotic (80S) ribosomes, used in molecular biology, microbiology, and cell culture research to study protein translation, for example in cycloheximide chase assays to measure protein half-lives, and as a selective agent in microbiological media to suppress fungal growth so that bacteria can be isolated. It is also employed in plant pathology and veterinary applications. This chemical has a CAS number of 66-81-9, molecular formula C15H23NO4, and a molecular weight of 281.3474 g/mol. Store at 2 to 8°C. The signal word is Danger, indicating hazardous properties requiring careful handling. Molekula supplies Cycloheximide from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
