Description

Sultropen CAS NO 963-22-4 is a high-purity chemical compound, also known as 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA), which serves as a crucial intermediate in the synthesis of various semi-synthetic penicillin antibiotics. Its consistent quality and reliable supply are paramount for ensuring the efficacy and safety of downstream pharmaceutical manufacturing. This product is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries engaged in the production of broad-spectrum antibiotics.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Primary building block for the synthesis of semi-synthetic penicillins such as ampicillin, amoxicillin, and flucloxacillin.
• Antibiotic Production: Core starting material in the industrial-scale manufacture of β-lactam antibiotics.
• Research & Development: Used in biochemical research and for the development of new antibiotic derivatives and prodrugs.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Employed in specialized organic synthesis to introduce the β-lactam structure into more complex molecules.

Quality Control

Our Sultropen is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical intermediates. Each batch is tested against rigorous specifications for identity, purity, and impurity profiles. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided and can be tailored to meet specific customer or pharmacopoeial requirements, such as USP or EP monographs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed and away from direct light to maintain stability and purity.
