ProtocolIn VitroFosfomycin calcium has bactericidal activity against a variety of gram-negative and gram-positive pathogens, including broad-spectrum production β-Bacteria of lactamase and carbapenemase, and against S. aureus strains with an inhibition rate of 90%. Fosfomycin calcium is an epoxy antibacterial agent. Compared with other antibacterial agents, it acts by inhibiting the early process of cell wall synthesis.
In VivoFosfomycin calcium (80 mg/kg; i.v.-i.v. or i.v.-p.o.) displays the protective effect on the nephrotoxicity of double beckacin, and is not affected by different administration routes.
These protocols are for reference only. InvivoChem does not independently validate these methods.

Calculation Results:
Working concentration: mg/ml;
Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in µL DMSO(Master liquid concentration mg/mL) ,Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take µL DMSO master liquid, next add µL PEG300, mix and clarify, next add µL Tween 80,mix and clarify, next add µL ddH2O,mix and clarify.
Note:
  • (1) Please be sure that the solution is clear before the addition of next solvent. Dissolution methods like vortex, ultrasound or warming and heat may be used to aid dissolving.
  • (2) Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order.
