Description

Ertapenem is a synthetic, broad-spectrum carbapenem antibiotic belonging to the β-lactam class. Its primary value lies in its stability against many β-lactamases, making it a critical therapeutic agent for treating serious and multi-drug resistant bacterial infections. This pharmaceutical active ingredient is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical industry producing injectable antibiotic formulations. Ertapenem CAS NO 153832-46-3 is a key component in the global fight against complex intra-abdominal, skin, and community-acquired infections.

Application

• Pharmaceutical API: Primary use as the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in the manufacture of sterile injectable antibiotic products.
• Hospital-Acquired Infection Treatment: Formulated for the treatment of complicated intra-abdominal infections, skin and skin structure infections, and community-acquired pneumonia.
• Surgical Prophylaxis: Used in antibiotic regimens for preventing post-surgical infections in high-risk procedures.
• Research & Development: Serves as a reference standard and key intermediate in pharmaceutical R&D for novel antibiotic development and analytical method validation.
• Veterinary Medicine: Potential application in advanced veterinary treatments for serious bacterial infections in animals.

Quality Control

Our Ertapenem is manufactured under strict cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practice) conditions to ensure the highest standards of purity and consistency required for pharmaceutical applications. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and impurity profiling, to meet or exceed USP/EP monograph specifications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, documenting identity, purity, residual solvents, and microbiological quality.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C) or as specified. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept under conditions that minimize exposure to atmospheric humidity to maintain stability and potency.
