Cefuroxime double mother nucleus dimer is a specialized synthetic intermediate derived from the condensation of two cefuroxime aglycone units. This compound serves as a critical precursor for semi-synthetic cephalosporin antibiotics, facilitating advanced coupling reactions in pharmaceutical manufacturing. The molecular formula is typically represented as C24H26N4O10S2, though exact stoichiometry varies by synthesis route. No standard CAS number exists for this specific dimeric structure as it is an unstable transient intermediate rather than a commercial API.
This substance requires storage under inert atmosphere at temperatures below -20°C to prevent hydrolysis. Personnel must utilize full PPE including respirators and chemical-resistant gloves due to potential sensitization risks. It is strictly prohibited for direct clinical administration or human consumption.
