Description

Cefacetrile CAS NO 10206-21-0 is a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic belonging to the β-lactam class, valued for its broad-spectrum activity against Gram-positive bacteria. Its primary commercial significance lies in its use as a key pharmaceutical intermediate in the synthesis of more complex antibiotic formulations. This product is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly those involved in producing sterile injectable antibiotics and veterinary medicines.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Primary use in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for cephalosporin-based antibiotics.
• Sterile Injectable Formulations: Serves as a bulk ingredient for the manufacture of injectable antibiotic solutions.
• Veterinary Medicine: Used in the production of antibiotics for treating bacterial infections in livestock and companion animals.
• Research & Development: Employed as a reference standard in microbiological assays and pharmacological studies.
• Antibiotic Production: A crucial building block in the chemical synthesis pathways for advanced cephalosporin derivatives.

Quality Control

Our Cefacetrile is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for pharmaceutical use. We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for all shipments, detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles. Our quality commitment aligns with cGMP principles to ensure supply chain reliability for critical pharmaceutical production.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a low-humidity environment. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
