About Chloramphenicol:
Molecular Weight: 323.13 g/mol
Appearance: Chloramphenicol is typically found as a white to greyish-white or yellowish-white crystalline powder.
Solubility: It is sparingly soluble in water, but highly soluble in ethanol, methanol, and propylene glycol. It has moderate solubility in ether and is slightly soluble in glycerin.
Melting Point: The melting point of chloramphenicol is about 149-153°C (300.2-307.4°F), though this can vary slightly depending on the purity and specific form of the compound.
Stability: Chloramphenicol is relatively stable under normal conditions but may be sensitive to prolonged exposure to light, which can lead to degradation. It is also sensitive to strong oxidizing agents.
Applications of Chloramphenicol:
Pharmaceutical Industry:
Treatment of Serious Infections: Chloramphenicol is used to treat serious infections. This includes certain forms of meningitis (especially Haemophilus influenzae type b and meningococcal meningitis), typhoid fever, and rickettsial infections.
Eye Infections: In the form of eye drops or ointment, chloramphenicol is used to treat bacterial conjunctivitis and other eye infections. Its ability to treat a wide range of bacteria makes it particularly useful in this context.
Topical Use: For skin infections, chloramphenicol can be applied topically in the form of creams or ointments. This is less common and is typically reserved for specific infections where chloramphenicol's action is particularly effective.
Veterinary Use: Chloramphenicol is also used in veterinary medicine to treat a variety of infections in animals. 
Research Applications: In molecular biology research, chloramphenicol is used as a selective agent in microbial culture media.
