What is bacitracin zinc

Cas number: 1405-89-6

Chemical Formula: C66H101N17O16SZn

Molecular Weight: 1486.067

It is a complex of zinc and bacitracin. It is a white or off-white powder with its characteristic odor and bitter taste, a mixture of related cyclic peptides produced by organisms of the licheniformis group of Bacillus subtilis var Tracy. These peptides disrupt Gram-positive bacteria by interfering with the cell wall and peptidoglycan synthesis

It is one of our USFDA-Approved pharmaceutical ingredients along with bacitracin and polymyxin b sulfate. It is an effective narrow-spectrum antibiotic peptide with a similar antibacterial spectrum to penicillin, mainly for Gram-positive cocci and bacilli. Zinc bacitracin powder also exerts a certain inhibitory effect on several Gram-negative bacteria, spirochetes, and actinomycetes with attributes of high efficiency, low toxicity, and low residue.

First thing first, we must mention it upfront, there are two types of powder: 1. high-potency type Pharm-Grade (Potency No Less Than 65IU/MG); 2. Feed-Grade or Industrial-Grade (Potency Less than 40IU/MG). Here we mainly discuss pharm-grade type.

How is bacitracin zinc produced

1. Fermentation process using Bacillus subtilis and B. licheniformis to get bacitracin solution. (Bacitracin solution is an extraction and separation solution of a Bacillus subtilis and a B-type Bacillus licheniformis fermentation broth with a potency of no less than 5000 u/ml and a conductance of less than 2000 μs/cm).

2. An alkaline solution is added to the bacitracin solution to adjust the pH as 8 to 11, add inorganic zinc salt, adjust pH as 5 to 7 with an inorganic acid, stir for 1 to 2 hours, and let stand for 5 to 10 hours. (The alkaline solution can be either ammonia water or sodium hydroxide. The inorganic zinc salt is one of zinc oxide, zinc chloride, and zinc sulfate. The inorganic acid is one of hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid.)

3. It is then obtained by separation, drying, pulverization, sieving, inspection.

The total content of bacitracin A should be greater than 40.0%, the total amount of bacitracin A, B” B2 and B3 should be greater than 70.0%, Potency should be no less than 65IU/MG.

Zinc Bacitracin obtained by this method could be used for medicinal preparations such as aerosol sprays and ointments.

Bacitracin zinc vs bacitracin

It is bacitracin with zinc. Bacitracin zinc and bacitracin are produced in the same way but processed differently to get different products. Metal zinc within makes it more stable than bacitracin. BeLow we list the differences between the two.

#1. Stability

As we mentioned above, zinc salt makes the peptide bacitracin more stable when exposed to air and moisture. Though they have the same shelf life as three years when properly stored and sealed, it will be another case when the package is broken.

#2. Production capacity and polularity

Market demand for bacitracin zinc is much bigger than bacitracin. On one hand, bacitracin zinc is used in more ointments and aerosol sprays than bacitracin. Take the famous brands such as Neosporin and Polysporin for example, they both contain bacitracin zinc and polymyxin b sulfate, but neosporin contains the extra third ingredient neomycin sulfate. Only very small portion of the people who are allergic to neomycin sulfate would have to choose ointments containing bacitracin only.

On the other hand, bacitracin zinc is also widely used poultry feed industry and the quantity is way bigger than the use in pharmaceutical industry.

#3. Price

Due to bigger production quantity, the cost of bacitracin zinc is brought to a lower level than bacitracin cost. You can also check it price below with bacitracin price on our bacitracin page for your comparison. You can see that pharm-grade Bacitracin zinc price is around 600usd/kg, bacitracin price is around 700usd/kg. Not to mention bacitracin zinc used for food and poultry industry, the price is even lower.

Bacitracin zinc vs zinc oxide

zinc oxide is also used in many products for skin as zinc bacitracin. Some people even can’t help asking, “Is bacitracin zinc the same as zinc oxide ” But what exactly is the main difference between those two

Excluding their chemical property differences, Zinc Oxide is an inorganic chemical, Bacitracinc zinc is an organic peptide, they have different cas no, molecular weight etc, zinc oxide is mainly used to treat skin conditions, including dermatitis, itching due to eczema, diaper rash and acne. Bacitracin zinc is mainly used as an antibiotic for infections of wounds. Below is detailed zinc oxide usage introductions and comparison.

Zinc oxide is contained in baby powder and barrier creams to treat diaper rashes, calamine cream, anti-dandruff shampoos, and antiseptic ointments. It is also a component in tape (zinc oxide tape) used by athletes as a bandage to prevent soft tissue damage during workouts.

Zinc oxide can be used in ointments, creams, and lotions to protect against sunburn and other damage to the skin caused by ultraviolet light. Zinc oxide blocks both UVA (320–400 nm) and UVB (280–320 nm) rays of ultraviolet light to prevent sunburn. It works as the broadest spectrum UVA and UVB absorber. Zinc oxide and the other most common physical sunscreen, titanium dioxide, are considered to be nonirritating, nonallergenic, and non-comedogenic. Whereas bacitracin zinc works by killing bacteria in the wounds to get a quick healing.

But the Zinc oxide cost is only 1/50 of bacitracin zinc price, if not even less.
