Description

Streptomycin is a water-soluble aminoglycoside derived from Streptomyces griseus. It is marketed as the sulfate salt of streptomycin. The chemical name of streptomycin sulfate is D-Streptamine, O-2-deoxy-2-(methylamino)-α-L-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-O-5-deoxy-3-C-formyl-α-L-lyxofuranosyl-(1→4)-N,N1-bis(aminoiminomethyl)-,sulfate (2:3) (salt). The molecular formula for Streptomycin Sulfate is (C21H39N7O12)2 -3H2SO4 and the molecular weight is 1457.41. It has the following structural formula:

Streptomycin for Injection USP, equivalent to 1 gram streptomycin /vial is supplied as a sterile nonpyrogenic lyophillized cake for intramuscular use after reconstitution. The lyophillized cake may reduce to a powder during shipping.

After reconstitution the pH range for Streptomycin for Injection USP should be between 4.5 and 7 in a solution containing 200 mg of streptomycin activity per mL.

Each vial of Streptomycin for Injection contains streptomycin sulfate equivalent to 1 gram of streptomycin.[1]
