Description

Azidocillin is a semisynthetic penicillin antibiotic derived from 6-aminopenicillanic acid, characterized by the presence of an azido group. This structural modification is significant as it can influence the compound's antibacterial spectrum and stability profile, making it a valuable intermediate in pharmaceutical research and development. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and pharmaceutical companies engaged in the synthesis of novel β-lactam antibiotics, antimicrobial studies, and the development of analytical reference standards. Azidocillin CAS NO 17243-38-8 serves as a crucial building block for chemists exploring structure-activity relationships within the penicillin class.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key starting material or intermediate in the synthetic pathways for novel penicillin-based antibiotics.
• Antimicrobial Research: Used in microbiological and biochemical studies to investigate mechanisms of bacterial resistance and antibiotic efficacy.
• Reference Standard: Serves as a high-purity certified reference material (CRM) for quality control and analytical method development in pharmaceutical laboratories.
• Chemical Synthesis: Employed in organic synthesis for the preparation of more complex molecules with potential therapeutic activity.
• Academic & Institutional Research: Utilized in university and government labs for fundamental research on β-lactam chemistry and pharmacology.

Quality Control

Our Azidocillin is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification by spectroscopic methods, purity assay by HPLC, and control of specified impurities, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
