General description

Chemical structure: ß-lactam

Application

7-Aminocephalosporanic acid (7-ACA) can be used as a starting material to synthesize:

• Cefotaxime by acylation reaction with S-benzothiazol-2-yl(2-amino-4-thiazolyl)(methoxyimino)thioacetate (MAEM) in the presence of triethylamine.
• Cefpodoxime proxetil, a third-generation antibiotic via cefotaxime intermediate.
• Sodium 3′-substituted cephalosporanate sulfone derivatives as potential inhibitors of β-lactamase.

Potent inhibitor of bacterial (S. aureus) β-lactamase.
