Description

Cephalosporin C Zinc Salt CAS NO 12567-06-5 is a crucial intermediate in the synthesis of advanced β-lactam antibiotics. This compound is valued for its role as a key building block in the production of semi-synthetic cephalosporins, which are essential for treating a wide range of bacterial infections. It is primarily required by pharmaceutical manufacturers, research institutions, and fine chemical suppliers engaged in antibiotic development and production.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a critical starting material for the synthesis of various semi-synthetic cephalosporin antibiotics.
• Antibiotic Research & Development: Used in R&D laboratories for studying structure-activity relationships and developing new antimicrobial agents.
• Bulk Drug Substance Manufacturing: Employed in large-scale production processes for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in the cephalosporin class.
• Biochemical Research: Utilized in studies related to bacterial cell wall synthesis and the mechanism of action of β-lactam antibiotics.
• Reference Standard: Can be used as a high-purity analytical standard for quality control testing in pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Quality Control

Our Cephalosporin C Zinc Salt is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for pharmaceutical intermediates. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided and can be tailored to meet specific customer or regulatory standards, including those aligned with cGMP principles.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a 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 to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
