Molecular Structure of Chloramphenicol Antibiotic - 3D Ball-and-Stick Model #3646404 (License: Personal Use)

The image displays a ball-and-stick representation of chloramphenicol, featuring a nitrobenzene ring, a dichloroacetyl side chain, and a propanediol backbone. Key functional groups include two hydroxyl groups, a nitro group, and a dichloroacetamide moiety-critical for its antibacterial activity. Atom colors follow standard CPK conventions: blue for nitrogen, gray for carbon, white for hydrogen, red for oxygen, and green for chlorine.

Used in educational chemistry and pharmacology resources to illustrate antibiotic structure-activity relationships; supports student learning, scientific publications, and drug design overviews where visualizing stereochemistry and functional groups is essential.
