Oxytetracycline hydrochloride is a broad-spectrum antibiotic derived from *Streptomyces rimosus*, used in veterinary medicine, human pharmaceuticals, and agricultural applications to treat bacterial infections. It inhibits protein synthesis in susceptible bacteria, making it effective against gram-positive and gram-negative organisms, as well as some protozoa. This chemical has a CAS number of 2058-46-0, a molecular formula of C22H24N2O9·HCl, and a molecular weight of 496.89 g/mol. It should be stored at ambient conditions, and the product carries a **Danger** signal word due to its toxicity. Molekula supplies Oxytetracycline hydrochloride from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
