6-Aminopenicillanic acid

Catalog No.: A17998
Antibacterial Agent
6-Aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA) serves as a crucial precursor for the synthesis of β-lactam antibiotics and functions as an antibacterial agent. It disrupts bacterial cell wall synthesis during division, akin to penicillin, offering significant antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria. 6-Aminopenicillanic acid is primarily utilized in research focused on penicillin-related immune responses.
