Powder X-ray diffraction of vancomycin hydrochloride, C_(66)H_(76)Cl_3N_9O_(24)

摘要

Vancomycin hydrochloride is an antibiotic used in the prophylaxis and treatment of infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria. Solid vancomycin hydrochloride was obtained from Sigma-Aldrich. Diffraction data were measured with synchrotron radiation (λ = 0.413914 A). The results indicate that the sample is amorphous. A radial distribution function was computed by fitting a Debye function to the data. Figure 1 shows the Powder X-ray diffraction pattern of the compound.
