Aztreonam is a synthetic monobactam antibiotic with bactericidal activity against aerobic Gram-negative bacteria. Its core synthesis involves chiral pool strategies yielding the specific stereochemistry required for efficacy. Molecular formula: C13H17N5O8S; CAS No.: 81468-91-9.
Contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to aztreonam or beta-lactams. Requires strict storage below 25°C in dry conditions to maintain stability. Clinical use mandates monitoring for renal impairment and potential cross-reactivity with penicillin-allergic individuals.
