Description

Cefacetrile Sodium is a semi-synthetic, first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic in its sodium salt form. This compound is valued for its broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, particularly against Gram-positive organisms, and its stability in formulation. It is a critical active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical industry, primarily used in the production of injectable antibiotic preparations. Cefacetrile Sodium CAS NO 23239-41-0 is essential for ensuring the efficacy and reliability of finished pharmaceutical products.

Application

• Pharmaceutical API: Primary use as the active ingredient in the manufacture of sterile injectable antibiotic formulations.
• Veterinary Medicine: Used in the development of antibacterial treatments for livestock and companion animals.
• Research & Development: Serves as a reference standard and key intermediate in pharmaceutical R&D for novel antibiotic studies.
• Bulk Drug Substance: Supplied to contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) for large-scale production of finished dosage forms.
• Hospital Formulary: Essential for compounding pharmacies within hospital settings for specific patient needs.
