Gentamycin (Gentacycol) is an aminoglycoside antibiotic and was isolated from Micromonospora species. Gentamicin sulfate is a strong inhibitor of DNase I with an IC50 value of 0.57 ± 0.12 mM. It is a broad-spectrum cell culture antibiotic that is nontoxic to viruses and mammalian cells at antibacterial and antimycoplasmal concentrations. Its extended stability and slow development of bacterial resistance allow long-term virus and tissue culture studies. It is not used for Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Neisseria meningitidis or Legionella pneumophila bacterial infections (because of the risk of the patient going into shock from lipid A endotoxin found in certain Gram-negative organisms). Gentamicin is also useful against Yersinia pestis and its relatives although need for treatment in most cases is rare, as this bacterium is the one that causes plague.

Animal A (mg/kg) = Animal B (mg/kg) multiplied by | Animal B Km |
Animal A Km |
For example, to modify the dose of Compound A used for a mouse (20 mg/kg) to a dose based on the BSA for a rat, multiply 20 mg/kg by the Km factor for a mouse and then divide by the Km factor for a rat. This calculation results in a rat equivalent dose for Compound A of 10 mg/kg.

Heparin sodium salt (MW 15kDa)
Heparin sodium salt (MW 15kDa) is a heparin polymer with a molecular weight of 15kDa.Heparin sodium salt is an anticoagulant that reversibly binds to antithrombin III (ATIII), thereby accelerating the rate of inactivation of Thrombin factor IIa and factor Xa by ATIII. Heparin sodium salt is used for blood collection and plasma preparation in experimental animals and for the construction of parenteral nutrition models in mice. |
