Chloramphenicol

A broad-spectrum antibiotic announced in 1947, made by Streptomyces venezuelae, a bacterium isolated from a soil sample collected near Caracas. It is used in eye drops and eye ointments and, systemically, only in some serious infections. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, labelled standards, nitrosamines and other impurities.

Did you know?It was the first antibiotic to be synthesised in the laboratory: the synthesis devised by chemist Mildred Rebstock made it possible to produce it in large quantities and cheaply, without relying on fermentation.
