Florfenicol Description
Florfenicol is a monofluoro derivative of thiamphenicol, a white or off-white crystalline powder, odorless. Florfenicol is slightly soluble in water and chloroform, slightly soluble in glacial acetic acid, and soluble in methanol and ethanol. It is a new broad-spectrum antibacterial drug for veterinary medicine developed successfully in the late 1980s.
Florfenicol is a broad-spectrum bacteriocidal antibiotic that acts against the 50S ribosome of bacteria.
