Tigecycline [CAS: 220620-09-7] is an intravenous glycylcycline antibiotic that treats Complicated skin and soft tissue infections (cSSTI).

Tigecycline: Use and Commercial Availability

Tigecycline is the first drug in the glycylcycline class of antibiotics. It helps treat infections caused by susceptible organisms in two conditions: complicated skin and skin structure infections (cSSSI) and complicated intraabdominal infections.

Tigecycline is available under the brand Tygacil which contains the active ingredient, Tigecycline.

Tigecycline Structure and Mechanism of Action

The chemical name of Tigecycline is (4S,4aS,5aR,12aS)-4,7-Bis(dimethylamino)-9-[[2-[(1,1-dimethylethyl)amino]acetyl]amino]-1,4,4a,5,5a,6,11,12a-octahydro-3,10,12,12a-tetrahydroxy-1,11-dioxo-2-naphthacenecarboxamide. Its chemical formula is C₂₉H₃₉N₅O₈, and its molecular weight is approximately 585.6 g/mol.

Tigecycline prevents protein replication in bacteria binding to its ribosomes. It blocks the incorporation of amino acid residues into elongating peptide chains.

Tigecycline Impurities and Synthesis

During Tigecycline’s manufacturing¹, impurity formation is possible and can compromise its effectiveness. They can arise from various sources, including the raw materials, intermediates, and chemicals utilized to synthesize Tigecycline. To ensure the drug’s optimal efficacy and safety, closely managing and monitoring these impurities is paramount.

Daicel offers a wholesome and integrated Certificate of Analysis (CoA) for Tigecycline impurity standards, encompassing impurities such as 12-oxo-11 hydroxy Tigecycline, 4-Epimer of Tigecycline Hydrochloride, Tigecycline quinone Analog, and Tigecycline Tricyclic Analog. The CoA provides detailed characterization data, including 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, MASS, and HPLC purity². Additionally, we give a detailed 13C-DEPT upon delivery. With advanced technology and expertise, Daicel can synthesize any unknown Tigecycline impurity or degradation product.
