Ristocetin
Title: Ristocetin
CAS Registry Number: 1404-55-3
Trademarks: Ristomycin; Spontin; Riston
Literature References: Glycopeptide antibiotic complex produced by the actinomycete Nocardia lurida. Ristocetin A and the more active ristocetin B differ in the number of glucose, mannose, rhamnose and D-arabinose groups in their side chains. Isoln, crystallizn and chemical properties: J. E.

Derivative Type: Crystalline sulfates
Properties: Sol in acidic aq solns; much less sol in the neutral pH range. Generally insol in organic solvents. Both components show good stability in aq acidic solns, but are readily inactivated above pH 7.0. Commercial prepns are mixtures of both with >90% ristocetin A.
