Description

Cefminox CAS NO 84305-41-9 is a semi-synthetic, broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic belonging to the cephamycin class. It is valued for its potent antibacterial activity against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including many β-lactamase-producing strains. This makes it a critical intermediate and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical industry developing injectable antibiotic formulations.

Application

• Pharmaceutical API Synthesis: Primary use as the active pharmaceutical ingredient in the manufacture of sterile injectable antibiotic drugs.
• Antibacterial Formulations: Used in the development of combination therapies and novel drug delivery systems targeting severe infections.
• Veterinary Medicine: Potential application in the development of antibacterial treatments for veterinary use.
• Research & Development: Serves as a key reference standard and building block in microbiological and pharmacological research.
• Hospital & Clinical Use: The final drug product is indicated for the treatment of serious infections including septicemia, peritonitis, and biliary tract infections.
