TXA497 is a potent local topical bactericide. TXA497 exerts its bactericidal effect by interfering with the polymerization kinetics of the bacterial cell division protein FtsZ, rather than inhibiting it. TXA497 shows strong activity against various Staphylococcus aureus strains, including MRSA and MSSA, with an MIC value ranging from 1.0 to 2.0 μg/mL. TXA497 skin deposition is concentration-dependent in its formulation, consistent with Fick's first law. TXA497 has limited systemic permeability through the lipid pathway of the stratum corneum and is easily absorbed through this route. TXA497 can be used for research on topical bactericidal agents.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
