Cephalosporin C analog-1 sodium

Cephalosporin C analog-1 sodium is a derivative of Cephalosporin C, targeting bacterial cell wall synthesis. It demonstrates significant activity against a range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria while exhibiting stability against penicillinase. This compound is crucial for the hydrolysis and removal of side chains, yielding 7-amino-cephalosporanic acid (7-ACA), which serves as a key precursor in the synthesis of semi-synthetic cephalosporins. Its utilization in biochemical research contributes to the development of novel antibiotics and the study of bacterial resistance mechanisms.
