Squalamine(CAS: 148717-90-2)

Squalamine is a naturally occurring cationic peptide found in the liver of the dogfish shark. It is characterized by its ability to disrupt cell membranes and has been studied for its potential antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Squalamine has been investigated for its potential uses in pharmaceuticals, particularly as an antimicrobial agent against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It is also studied in the treatment of skin conditions and as an antiviral agent.

Squalamine generally appears to be safe for use in vitro and in animal models, but its safety in humans requires further clinical trials. It is important to follow all safety guidelines and precautions when handling the compound.

Squalamine should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. It should be kept in a tightly sealed container and away from moisture to prevent degradation. Storage at temperatures below 25°C is recommended to maintain its efficacy and stability.
