Cinnamycin is tetracyclic lantibiotic produced from S. cinnamoneus that contains four unusual amino acids: erythro-β-hydroxyaspartic acid, mesolanthionine, threo-β-methyllanthionine, and lysinoalanine.1 Cinnamycin has demonstrated antiviral activity against herpes simplex virus type 1 KOS strain infection in Vero cells via a cytopathic effect reduction assay. Cinnamycin recognizes the structure of phosphatidylethanolamine and forms an equimolar complex with the phospholipid on biological membranes. This peptide has been used as a probe for analyzing the transbilayer movement of phosphatidylethanolamine.

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.
