Vancomycin hydrochloride is a potent glycopeptide antibiotic used primarily to treat serious bacterial infections, including those caused by methicillin-resistant *Staphylococcus aureus* (MRSA). It binds to bacterial cell walls, inhibiting cell synthesis and growth. This USP-grade chemical has a CAS number of 1404-93-9, a molecular formula of C66H75Cl2N9O24·HCl, and a molecular weight of 1485.72. Store at 2–8°C under controlled conditions, as it carries a "Danger" signal word due to its potential to cause allergy or asthma symptoms or breathing difficulties if inhaled (respiratory sensitisation). Molekula supplies Vancomycin hydrochloride from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
