Ordering Information

Biological Activity

Cloxacillin sodium is a semi-synthetic, penicillinase-resistant beta-lactam antibiotic that targets penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). By binding to PBPs, it inhibits the cross-linking transpeptidation step in bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan biosynthesis. This disruption weakens the bacterial cell wall, compromising structural integrity and leading to cell lysis and bactericidal activity against susceptible microorganisms during active cell multiplication.

FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
